Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Book Club Edition. This is the 1960 BOOK CLUB edition of "Mutiny on the Bounty", the great adventure novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, published by Little, Brown & Co. in Boston. The book's jacket is graced with the exciting art of Henry C. Pitz. Seldom has an artist captured so vividly such an adventurous and perilous scene for a dust-jacket. The authors novelized what had been one of the most remarkable real adventures of 18th century maritime history. This book is now Out of Print - OP. Captain Bligh was a harsh taskmaster, and the mutinous crew felt they had enduring enough. The jacket illustration depicts Captain Bligh and those crew members who had remained loyal, cast adrift with from the Bounty in the midst of a heavy sea - the mutineers jeering at them from the stern of the ship. Bligh and his crew of 18 were given scant supplies, but they managed to accomplish the incredible feat of rowing more than three thousand miles across the unforgiving ocean to land and safety. Those who remained on board the Bounty had adventures of a different sort. Kudos to Henry Pitz for such a dramatic rendering!

BINDING -- Solid INTERIOR -- Slight production-related toning to end-papers (slight darkening from glue used in book's construction)- else the interior is clean and free of marking. No signatures DUST-JACKET -- There are a few small spot (a couple on the rear panel seem like foxing - and some are just slightly to be discerned on the front panel); there is a bit of rub on the rear panel; there is the previously mentioned wrinkle to the top edge of the front panel, as well as a similar but lesser wrinkle to the rear top edge; over all the jacket is exceptional and displays very nicely. The reverse of the jacket is toned (most obviously down the spine panel) and there are a couple of dents, which do not affect the outer jacket. The whole is kept within a clear mylar sleeve to ensure against further wear. Henry C. Pitz (1895 - 1976) (illustratore).…
