Sailor's Word-book: An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms (Conway Classics)

714pp.  Red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine.  8vo.  Cloth very gently rubbed at edges else volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout.  In its original glossy dust wrapper, very slightly bumped on extreme edges. First published in 1867, The Sailor's Word-book is an incomparable dictionary of nautical terms.  Much more than a period piece, this edition has been sensitively revised and updated to become an invaluable resource for all those enthusiastic for the sea and ships and an interest in usage of the English language in general.
