Seller's Description:
None. Very Good Indeed. The uncorrected proof copy of Julian Stockwin's naval adventure, Kydd Kydd, first published in 2001, is a historical novel by Julian Stockwin. This first instalment in Julian Stockwin's series of novels set during the Age of Fighting Sail tells the story of young Kydd, who is pressed into service on a British ship in 1793. The book is unusual in that the hero is an ordinary pressed man, not an officer as is most common in nautical fiction. In paper wraps. Externally, smart, with just a couple of marks. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright, with just the odd spot Very Good Indeed.

Seller's Description:
Physical description: 373p.; 25cm. Subjects: Historical fiction. Signed by the author. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong.
Much like the O'Brien books, but starting from the bottom of the table of organization. Not quite as good a O'Brien, but still very enjoyable. Makes for a great escape.
