Here we have a deluxe leather-bound hardcover edition of Two Years Before the Mast, by Dana. It is part of the Harvard Classics line, published by P. F. Collier & Son in New York. This copy is from the 62nd printing, in 1969. The binding is tight, and there are no marks, rips, or creases in the text block. There is some edge wear at the head and foot of the spine. There is also some light discoloration or soiling on the the edges of text block, as well as on the covers, where it looks like some metallic paint or leaf has rubbed off onto the book in a few places.
