The "Old Salt.

The Bon Voyage Book. An Intimate Guide for the Ocean Traveler.

New York: The John Day Company, 1931.

Octavo, 129 pages. First edition. One of the five John Day "Intimate Guides", which includes the very sought after Nightlife, by Charles Shaw. A "nautical (but nice) guide to the low-down and up-and-up of life at sea." With information on what to wear, sea-sickness, what to read, etc. Like all the titles in this series, the design is lovely, with publisher's decorated boards in bright blue and yellow ocean liner design, and edges blue all around. In a similarly designed dust jacket. Small date stamp to free front end paper, otherwise fine in a very near fine dust jacket, with only a tiny bit of darkening to head of spine and two 1/8 inch closed tears to jacket edge. With most of the extremely rare original glassine intact. Scarce thus.
