Product ReviewsThe Best of Sail by Basil Lubbock (1975, Other)

Wonderful book about clipper ships

This is an outstanding book about clipper ships of the 1800's. It is the 'little brother' to the more expansive and expensive 3-volume set "Sail, The Romance of the Clipper Ships". Like the 3-volume set, for each ship there is a 3-4 page history by Basil Lubbock combined with a color plate of Jack Spurling's painting of the ship. It is not a 'condensed book' as the text is not condensed. It is 36 of the better known clipper ships out of the much larger collection in the 3-volume set. Large format book, appears to be letterpress printed.Read full review...
