What a fun treasure - the fictional account of the seal-fur industry from 1912 that includes actual historical facts as well. The book is entitled, "WHERE THE SEA FLAG FLOATS", A Story Of The Seal Fisheries by Elsie Robertson.

The book is handsomely bound in soft blue color cloth and has a partial image of a small boat coming into the dock. The front cover also includes stylized Where The Sea Flag Floats and art deco designs in brown for the title.

I love old books for the peak into culture and language of our grandparent's (or even great-grandparents for this one) day.

This book is in fair condition for its age. The front and back covers are stained and show wear on the corners and binding edges and the cover picture is tattered. Baily is written in pencil faintly on the top of the front cover. The pages have yellowed and have random dark spots. The inside cover has an inscription Christmas 1922 to Walter DeJong from AS De Jong in ink. The binding is very loose and has pulled apart from the staples in the back but the book is still holding together and no pages are entirely loose.
