Description: Offered here is " The Sea Around us " by Rachel Carson, in a special edition for young readers adapted by Anne Terry White, published by Golden Press, Inc. in 1958. This is the fascinating story of the oceans of the earth and the life they support, especially adapted for young readers from the original text of Rachel Carson's best-seller by the same title. Includes more than 150 marine photographs, maps and drawings in color and black-and-white. This hardcover book with fully colored illustrated boards is in Very Good condition, with the following items noted: there is some shelf-wear along the bottom of the boards, resulting in some loss of material; the book's binding is tight and pages are clean, save for age-tanning along the top of the book block and minor smudges at the bottom of two pages (see photos); slightly musty. The original unclipped dust jacket is in only Good condition, due to heavy age-tanning along the top edge, and many small tears along the edges and corners; the plastic coating of the dust jacket has peeled off in most places. Please see accompanying photographs, which are of the actual item you will receive. If you would like to see more photos of this item, or have questions, please send a message.
