Item specifics

Seller Notes: “Messing About in Boats. Surgeon Rear Admiral John R. Muir. Published by Blackie & Son, London, ... “Messing About in Boats. Surgeon Rear Admiral John R. Muir. Published by Blackie & Son, London, 1948. First edition and impression. Bound in the original publisher's hardcover boards, titled in blue to the spine and upper board. Spine faded, ends with bumping, a little soiling to the boards. Internally the block is sound, the pages have some light age toning, previous owner's inscription to the front endpaper, but generally clean and tight. No jacket present. 328pp, illustrated with 8 photo plates, as called for. A charming and evocative account of Surgeon Rear-Admiral John R. Muir's adventures afloat in the years either side of the Great War. Inexplicably out of print since the late 1940s. John Muir describes with humanity and humour the perils of boat acquisition and ownership by the impecunious, and the somewhat mixed talents of the Paid Hand. But his account is more than balanced by the interest and pleasure he took in working and sailing in English waters. Good/-”
