One of only three survivors of Scott’s last expedition, and one of the crew of the “James Caird” who sailed to South Georgia to save Shackleton’s men marooned on Elephant Island.  See the description (below) from the dustwrapper flap.

One of the pages in the middle of the book has been badly trimmed, apparently during the binding process, but is not loose or otherwise damaged.

Still in print, but only in paperback, at £11.99.
