Derrydale Yachting Log, “Extremely Rare”--Frazier

Yacht Racing Log. Foreword by Herbert L. Stone

Log book of 140 pages, providing data for 70 races. 8vo, New York: The Derrydale Press, 1933. First Edition, one of an indeterminate number of copies. Original white canvas cloth, with blue printing and ornaments; slight toning to spine, pencil notes erased from first three pages, else fine and attractive.

An extraordinarily difficult Derrydale to find; this is the first copy we have had. Siegel believes the low survival rate is due primarily to “a high rate of water-damaged copies” and the fact that those used as diaries have not come onto the market. A nice copy of a rare book Siegel 75; Frazier D-5-a.
