This is a wonderful near fine (like new) hardcover with dust jacket. This edition is the 1985 Harry Abrams Edition. Large folio size with 446 pages including index and weighs nearly 7 pounds. This copy is crisp and clean inside and out. The pages inside are clean and free of markings, dog ears etc. The binding is tight and straight. The dust jacket is clean and shiny with only light shelf wear from display. Will ship boxed and bubble wrapped.
No other guide to the ocean world could be found than Jacques Cousteau. Nearly every page of this exciting narrative is enhanced by fabulous photos and illustrations from marine photographers, and artists. 18 chapters cover all aspects of life in the sea; evolution, reproduction, food getting, defense mechanisms, legends and tales, life in the polar regions, and the future of the ocean. 385 illustrations, including 36 plates in full color. This invaluable reference is timely today as when originally published in 1979.
