MINES, MINELAYERS AND MINELAYING

London:Oxford University Press. (1951). 3rd edition. 216pp with 3 maps at rear. Hardcover with dust jacket. Original sellers small bookplate inside lower edge of front board, otherwise no other prior owners marks or signatures. End-pages, front and rear, are age-toned, however the rest of the pages are clean and bright. The page edges, especially the top edge, are soiled with dust residue.  Blue boards are still clean and bright as well.  The dust jacket, clipped at the lower front flap edge, has general over-all soiling and shelf-wear, with chips and tears to the spine ends. Overall, a very good copy. *Captain Cowie traces the development and employment of the sea-mine from the XVIth Century to the present day.
