Paul Gallico – The Poseidon Adventure – First Edition 1969 – with wraparound band
£185.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Heinemann in London, 1969. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper has some very slight wear at the corners and top and tail edges. It has not been price clipped, showing the original 30s net/£1.50 net price. The boards are free from notable wear in the original black cloth. The wraparound band is intact but faded at the spine. The text blocks are bright and white throughout. Overall, this is a near fine copy with the scarce wraparound band.
It concerns the capsizing of a luxurious ocean liner, the S.S. Poseidon, due to an undersea earthquake that causes a 90-foot (27-meter) wave, and the desperate struggles of a handful of survivors to reach the bottom of the liner’s hull before the ship sinks.
