The rear endpapers show some browning. The jacket has slight edge wear, no tears of chips. This is a Presentation Copy, numbered and signed by the author. This is number 252 of 1,000. The author reconstructs the career of the Duyfken, a Dutch East India Company vessel that landed the first Europeans on the Australian continent without realizing they had discovered a sixth continent. The chart of the Duyfken's skipper, Willem Jansz, lay in the archives for many years before being discovered. The author also recounts the story of the building of a replica Duyfken, a project that would also become a voyage of discovery. 218 pages, illustrated.
