Description: 2012 book, 'DANGEROUS WORK' DIARY OF AN ARCTIC ADVENTURE by Arthur Conan Doyle You are considering a hardback book w/ DJ, 'DANGEROUS WORK' DIARY OF AN ARCTIC ADVENTURE by Arthur Conan Doyle; PUBLISHER; The British Library, London; 2012 copyright; 368 pages; Out of sight for more than a century was a diary that Conan Doyle kept while aboard the whaler. Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure makes this account available for the first time in a beautiful facsimile edition that reproduces Conan Doyles notebook pages in his own elegant hand, accompanied by his copious illustrations. With humor and grace, Conan Doyle provides a vivid account of a long-vanished way of life at sea. His careful detailing of the experience of arctic whaling is equal parts fascinating and alarming, revealing the dark workings of the later days of the British whaling industry. Also includes transcriptions of the diary pages. A great look into history. CONDITION: Pages tight; no DJ wear. Overall, great condition and would make an excellent addition to any collection. Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is a Paypal rule, not me trying to be difficult. If you wish to have the package sent to a different address, change the "ship to" before making payment. I combine shipping whenever possible. PAYPAL REQUIRES UNIQUE TRACKING NUMBERS FOR each PAYMENT. If you buy a book, then make payment, then buy another book and make payment, I must ship each separately so we have two tracking numbers. If you wish to have items combined to reduce shipping costs, request an invoice after you have made all your purchases. Multiple Paypal payments means multiple packages--again, it's a Paypal rule, not me being difficult. We are not set up for LOCAL pick-up. We've tried it in the past and had too many "no shows". Our schedules can be erratic, so please allow us to mail your package. This is a non-smoking home. Most of my items are antique or vintage and have been purchased at estate sales and auctions.
