Description
"Admiral of the Ocean Sea: Life & Voyages Of Christopher Columbus" is a luxurious 2 volume set published by Easton Press in 1990. Written by Samuel Eliot Morison, this historical leatherbound set celebrates the 500th Anniversary of Columbus' voyages, making it a collector's item for those interested in exploration and travel. Good news/Bad news (which happen to be the same news): this set was still in its original shrinkwrap. Unfortunately, there was some minor foxing/spotting that occurred under the plastic along the gilded edges. I removed the plastic to try to avoid further spotting (see photos). In addition, there's some unusual wrinkling to the bottom corners of Vol. 2. Still, a nice, tight (and affordable!) set that has remained unopened save for these pictures! This edition is a must-have for fans of Christopher Columbus and American maritime history! MKWBOOKS- 50+ years of collecting experience behind every auction!

The book is as described and photographed. In fact, it is in excellent condition. The book arrived quickly and was very well packaged for safe shipping. The seller was great in communicating via email the status of the shipping and delivery of the item. I had an excellent experience with the seller.

Fortunately the book was wrapped in plastic bubble wrap, because the USPS left the box in a puddle on our walkway instead of in the (large enough) mail box. The contents stayed dry. The book matched the description perfectly. Good value.
