72 Hours
Pope, Frank Orion London 2012 1409144062 / 9781409144069 First Edition Hardcover New New Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
New hardback. First impression. RRP. £18.99. pp. ix, 260. August 5th 2005. On a secret mission to an underwater military installation thirty miles off the coast of Kamchatka, Russian Navy submersible AS-28 ran into a web of cables and stuck fast. With 600 feet of freezing water above them, there was no escape for the seven crew. Trapped in a titanium tomb, all they could do was wait as their air supply slowly dwindled. For more than twenty-four hours the Russian Navy tried to reach them. Finally - still haunted by the loss of the nuclear submarine Kursk five years before - they requested international assistance. 72 Hours tells the extraordinary, edge-of-the-seat, real- life story of one of the most dramatic rescue missions of recent years. The dust jacket is supplied by us in a loose protective clear archival film sleeve. This does not adhere to the book or jacket in any way and it protects the jacket against wear.

Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan ; edited by Jon Lellenberg and Daniel Stashower British Library 2012 0712358641 / 9780712358644 First Thus Hard Cover NEW New 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
New hardback, with dust jacket. Both in excellent fine condition. RRP £25.00. In February 1880, when Arthur Conan Doyle was only twenty years old, he embarked upon 'the first real outstanding adventure in my life,' seven months as a ship's surgeon on an Arctic whaler. The voyage took the young Conan Doyle into unknown regions and plunged him into dangerous and bloody work on the ice floes of the Arctic seas. His unforgettable adventure was echoed in a number of his early landmarks as a writer. It provides a vivid account of the coming of age of the young man who would go on to create Sherlock Holmes, and of a life at sea that no longer exists. This book will feature a facsimile of this remarkable diary, with a transcript, as well as several non-fiction and fiction pieces based on the experience, including the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Black Peter.' It will also include photographs of the ship, its captain, and young Conan Doyle on deck. The publication of this unknown diary will be welcomed by all fans of Arthur Conan Doyle. 368pp. The dust jacket is supplied by us in a loose protective clear archival film sleeve. This does not adhere to the book or jacket in any way and it protects the jacket against wear.

Ireland and Scottish highlands. Like most of our stock, we have this book at a lower price in our shop premises if you would like to call in. 058103
