I don’t mind patina, but it took my 3 tries to get an acceptable copy of of a rare naval history book.
The first arrived with the spine totally destroyed (some pages literally hanging on my a thread) and the second was shipped in such a large box that it came open during shipping, and every single page had a massive hard crease at varying angles.
Amazon handled it far as refunds, but it still took over a month, and that’s now 2 less copies of that book in existence, and it’s not exactly common.
This is a book that goes for $100+ even well used
- WalterBright 4y agoI have some old naval books, so I'm curious of the title of yours.
- TylerE 4y agoGot a couple shelf’s of em, but the book in question is Breyer - Battleships and Battlecruisers 1905-1970 Useful because it (brief, but extant) coverage of nations like Brazil, Spain, and Greece, which don’t tend to get much coverage.
- WalterBright 4y agoWow, looks like a sweet book! I have many, too, including the set "History of United States Naval Operations in World War II" by Morison.
- TylerE 4y agoI’ve been tempted by that one too… but I got too many I haven’t read already :) Norman Friedman is excellent, very engineering heavy.
