S. Government if you believe some of the pencillings on some of his hundreds of big, beautiful maps - we will list those maps for you soon.  He then was a U. S. Navy Officer (XO, USS Eisele, DE-34) in the Central Pacific under Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz during World War II.  He stayed in Tahiti, raised a family, sailed the Pacific again and then back to Ohio.  We are liquidating his library for you  now.  Tight, firm.  No dj.  No looseness.  A minimal foxing (tropics stain) to the inside of the wraps - that's it.  Clean and sharp otherwise.  A real find - it's all here for you.  We describe them correctly - We want you back as a customer - hundreds of repeat customers.   A wonderful item for the parent or grandparent building a fine intergenerational library.   Splendid for the sailor, navigator, inshore water specialist,  historian,  collector,  student or author seeking authenticity.  A marvelous  addition to the library of the specialist dealer.  No pencillings,  No names, No other markings, No bookplates.  NOT ex-library.  NOT remainder-marked.  S&H in the U.S., $4.00 by Media Mail.  Well packaged - No cheap, thin plastic bags for Navalperson Books and More!! Outside the U.S.?  Email us for S&H before you buy - we ship worldwide!!  We combine S&H on multiple purchases.  Check all the great items listed by Navalperson Books and More in the Ebay auction - and then check out our store - Navalperson Books and More.  Fiction, nonfiction, rare books, interesting paper.  Sports, Fishing collectibles and fishing tackle soon, along with Stamps, Coins, outdoors, antiques and collectibles from around the world.  Wonderful stuff there, similar to this book and a lot more.  Buy with confidence - over 4,000 satisfied eBay buyers can't be all wrong!!  Don't let this one get by you - this is a marvelous find.
