The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, 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! 

A mission to rid the seas of a monster becomes a nightmare for Professor Aronnax, Conseil and harpooner Ned Land when they become prisoners of the 'monster' itself—a spectacular submarine ship commanded by Captain Nemo. But the marvels of their underwater journey soon distract them from their worries—the Professor, at least, wouldn't have missed this voyage for the world!
