About This Item
Book Club Associates London, London, 1969. Book Club Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Good. 'Lovely She Goes' is a cry that belongs to the age of sail. It can still be heard when a trawler leaves port for distant waters, it is made to the man at the wheel when the ship is free to pass lock gates to the open seas. After that there is no turning back. This tremendous, brutally true account of twenty men and one ship against the northern seas was written by a trawlerman. Distant water trawling is Britain's most dangerous job. The death rate is four times that of miners and one hundred times that of factory workers; its the hardest ife a man can have. Size: Octavo (standard book size). Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Slight foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed. Dust Jacket worn at edges, small chips and tears, and is foxed here and there. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Previous owner's signature in ink. Edges foxed and browned. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
