The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
From the dust jacket:
Beyond the horizon... from the earliest days, people wondered what might be there. At first, because they didn't know, they made up fantastic stories of queer beasts and people beyond the horizon.
But wondering isn't enough for some men. They have to know the truth. Those men are the explorers. Marco Polo, bewitched by the glories of the East; Columbus, a man with a dream that wouldn't quite come true; Magellan, driving cruelly toward a goal he never reached; Lewis and Clark, entrusted to explore a vast, rich territory; other men always pressing onward to discover the unknown. In a lively book, Irvin Block makes them as real as your next-door neighbor- but much more exciting.
THE REAL BOOK ABOUT EXPLORERS is a genuine thriller about some of the world's most daring, imaginative men and their discoveries that stretched back our horizons.
