London, Archibald Constable, 1905. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. "A man obsessed with exploring the farthest reaches of the natural world is driven to digging out the hidden wonders. His travels take him to distant lands where strange creatures lurk in the shadows and swamps, fearsome birds, invisible predators, and a monstrous creature known only as 'The Harbor Master'." [Google Books]. A science fiction novel. Some bumping to the spine tips and corners, a few spots and a dusty top-edge. Some foxing to the prelims, and final leaves. Fading to the boards, so possibly a marriage. Stain to the top edge. [11990, Hyraxia Books].
