1st American Edition, 3rd impression?, January 1915; x, 149pp, photographic frontipiece with tissue paper guard, 74 b/w photographic illustrations. Original olive green cloth, gilt titling to spine, front cover gilt lettered with blind stamped with 2 penguins. Like Rosove 205.A2 but still with advertisements on half-title verso and with both publishers. Rosove 205: "Levick was a surgeon on Scott's Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913) and member of the six-man northern party. This book is a delightful volume in which Levick narrates not of the men's lives at Cape Adare but rather those of the Adelie penguins during the nesting season." Some fading to spine and marks to front cover, moderate foxing, some pages slightly warped. Good. (Book ref. 492)  £75.00
