Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

[good sound book, minor soiling to bottom tip of text block, teeny-tiny bump to upper right corner of front cover; jacket is lightly browned at spine, a few tiny nicks and some minor wear along top edge]. (sepia-tone photographs, maps) "This remarkable volume tells of a life which, in hardships faced and dangers overcome, makes most adventure stories seem tame. Further, it is the only record which ever could have been written of the little-known savage races of Tierra del Fuego and their now-vanished way of life." The author was born on that island in 1874, and grew up in close contact with the Yaghan and Ona tribes, learning their ways and their language. In this book, "Bridges has set forth all he knew about the Ona Tribe, their legends, customs, culture and dreams." Selected by New York Times critic Orville Prescott as one of his ten best books of the year; he called it "a superb combination of personal adventure, frontier history and Indian lore -- a book of permanent importance." First published in England by Hodder & Stoughton in 1948. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy volume; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.

Shop-Beschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
