if you need a copy (I have mine already):
THE RAFT BOOK aviator Harold Gatty WWII-era lifesaving boat navigation w/map
271142316534 Item number:
The Raft Book. Lore of the Sea and Sky. Written by noted aviator Harold Gatty, this vintage book comes in its original slipcase with one big "coffee table-sized" map printed on both sides, one big "coffee table-sized" chart printed on both sides with Northern and Southern Latitudes and one "Greenwich Date and Hour Scales" ruler-like paper piece. Copyright 1943. No printing date stated but there is a 1943 on the title page. George Grady Press, publishers. SOFTCOVER (paperback), approx. 5-1/2" x 7-1/2", 152 pages. This is NOT a former library copy.
Please review the photos carefully. Cover has bumped, worn corners and a little edge wear. Page corners are bumped. There is a little separation between a couple of the pages but nothing is loose because of it. There is a name written on the title page and a light erasure mark on the inside front cover. Slipcase has edge and corner wear plus edge wear on the pasted-on illustration. Slipcase surfaces have some scuffing/scratching and soil. Label on the slipcase spine is discolored. Map and chart have edge and corner wear plus "not smooth" areas from handling (and the expected folds). There a small holes at the intersections of some of the folds plus a small bit of writing on the map and chart. Ruler-like piece has the expected folds, edge/corner wear and "not smooth" areas from handling. NO musty odors.
