The Fisherman, Series 606b (DJ)

The Fisherman 1963 was the 4th book to be issued in series 606b and was originally issued with a dustwrapper.  It was written by I & J Havenhand and, like all the books in this series, was beautifully, lovingly illustrated by John Berry.   This book dates from the days of a thriving fishing industry in Britain and deals with the smallest-scale fishing as well as the large trawler fleets and whaling.  Earlier copies had a dustwrapper over the buff-coloured boards.

This copy still has its original dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped.  It is in very good condition, with just a small area of discoloration to top edge of front panel (see photos).  The book is in excellent condition.  The last title listed on the back DJ flap, I believe this book to be a first edition.
