Reading creases, very minor edgewear, corners slightly bumped. A nice, attractive copy.

| 3. | Forester, C. S. To the Indies
Nashville, TN Bantam Books 1955 3rd Bantam Printing Mass Market Paperback Very Good - 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
Spine somewhat slanted, some edgewear/bumping. Text is starting to yellow, but clean and unmarked. "They were the conquerors - bold, reckless men, greedy to seize an Empire, and to load their ships with gold, pearls, and stolen women. They were bluebloods from the ancient nobility of Spain - and criminals from the jails of every seaport. Only a leader of fiery will and raw physical courage could whip these men into obedience--and Don Narciso was a man of letters - not the sword."
