New York: The Derrydale Press, 1933. First Edition, one of an indeterminate number of copies. Log book of 140 pages, providing data for 70 races. 5 pages completed for August 1933 out of New Haven Yacht Club, Douglas Crocker, Skipper. 1 vols. 8vo. Original white canvas cloth, with blue printing and ornaments. Fine. Bookplate. Laid into a quarter crimson morocco and cloth clamshell box with morocco label on upper panel with Derrydale logo on spine and upper panel. First Edition, one of an indeterminate number of copies. Log book of 140 pages, providing data for 70 races. 5 pages completed for August 1933 out of New Haven Yacht Club, Douglas Crocker, Skipper. 1 vols. 8vo. An extraordinarily difficult Derrydale to find. Siegel believes the low survival rate is due primarily to “a high rate of water-damaged copies” and the fact that those used as diaries have not come onto the market. A nice copy of a rare book. Siegel 75; Frazier D-5-a
