Miles Smeeton. Once is Enough, Adlard Coles, 1971. 1st published 1959. 1st published in the Mariners Library 1960. Good cond. in VG dj. Paper is a little browned with spotting on a few pages. No markings. Bright, unmarked cloth cover. Dj.is in standard format of the Mariners library. Ill. with 13 b & w ph. 10 maps. Foreword by Nevil Shute. Appendix and Postscript. 208 pp. A reprint from the Mariners Library and maintaining the high standards of the series, though perhaps the paper was of lower quality. The author sailed with his wife in the tracks of the old sailing clippers which mean rounding Cape Horn. This is a story of a struggle for survival but also provides lessons for other intrepid sailors. As Nevil Shute says in his Foreword, ' It has been left to Miles Smeeton in this book to tell us in clear and simple language just where the limits of safety lie'. This copy £19.99
