About this copy
This is a hardcover copy of Goold-Adams' account of the salvage and return of Brunel's SS Great Britain to Bristol in 1970, written by the Chairman of the SS Great Britain Project. The copyright page shows only the 1976 copyright date and ISBN, with no further printing history stated. The book is bound in blue cloth boards and retains its original illustrated dust jacket, designed by James Campus.
The title page bears a signature reading "Richard Goold-Adams"; while this matches the author's name, we cannot independently authenticate it as the author's genuine signature from photographs alone.
Condition
- Book
- Good – clean blue cloth boards with no major issues noted from photographs; text block not fully inspected for foxing or other issues.
- Dust jacket
- Good – bright and complete overall, but with a small nick/tear to the top corner of the front panel, a chip at the head of the spine, and some soiling/staining along the top edge of the rear panel and front flap.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
