Search Results: Transportation from Turtleman Used Books

A sailor's charts of currents around Canada's Vancouver Island and Washington's San Juan Islands. Although a few decades old, I suspect the currents haven't changed much. Very little wear, does not look as though it's been used much over the past 30+ years. Kind of rare, too. Just what your yacht needs.

Blue fabric covered boards with white print on the front and spine. Wear along the edges and at the corners consistent with the book's age. Front and rear endpapers show splits, but not as to significantly weaken the binding. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Contains 366 charts and diagrams in black and white, some with red highlights. The main body of the book runs 717 pages, followed by a 43 page Supplement on the Ford, a 16 page Supplement on the King 8 Model D, a 32 page Supplement on the Packard Twin Six, and a 23 page Index. Rather rare and over 100 years old. Not much use for a computerized, fuel-injected vehicle, but for the restorer of antique vehicles from 1916 or before, this could be an invaluable resource, not to mention a nice collector's piece. This book will ship at over three pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

First edition thus. Book shows very little wear. How to take your old tractor and turn it into a museum piece. Many photographic illustrations, all in color. Rather rare. This book will ship at a little over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Very little wear. Spine is square and uncreased, pages are clean and tight. Looks as if this book has never been read. A somewhat scarce book. Originally published in 2014.

A large book, wider than tall. This book would be described as good to very good if it weren't for the near complete break in the binding in the early pages (see photo #4). The book starts out with several advertisements, and right between an ad for biplanes and one for magnetos, only a few stitches are holding it all together. If you repair books, this is a good candidate, because other wear is mild and the book itself is very rare. The pages are unmarked and intact. The unclipped dust jacket has a number of tears around the perimeter, ranging from a few mm to 3.5 cm. Additional wear at the corners. This book will ship at over three pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

A solid, compact book with very little wear. Offers drawings of 300 non-military ships from ancient times to the present. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked.

Book has red fabric covered boards with gilt print on the spine, showing very little wear. Some very minor wear near the corners on the dust jacket. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. The dust jacket is unclipped. A rather rare book in near pristine condition. Filled with black and white illustrations, diagrams and tables.

A book on plotting your course when asea, if you happened to forget your GPS. Of course, there were no GPS devices when this was published. Now, it is more nostalgic and collectable than functional, at least until the end times. Very little wear. No spine creases, no margin notes, no folds. Includes many diagrams, tables, charts, and photographs of some very old tech. Kind of rare. (See ST01672 for another rare book for the sailor in the family.)

Very little wear. Spine is square and uncreased. A little price sticker residue on the lower rear. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. A rare book.

Gray fabric covered boards with orange print on the front and spine. Fabric darkened over the spine. Little wear to the fabric. The dust jacket shows substantial wear at all the corners and edges. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with many photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and tables. A rare book, harkening back to a lost time. Includes a discussion on model railroading as it was practiced in the 1940s.
