NY, Knopf, 1983. The first American edition. Warmly inscribed by Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, "To Marilyn with gratitude and all good wishes," and dated December, 1982. Note that the title page of this US edition gives the publication date of 1983, but the copyright page and the dust jacket both bear a 1982 date. Adams and Lockley, in alternating voices throughout the text, tell the story of their 6500 mile journey from Tierra del Fuego, along the coasts and seas of Antarctica, to the southern tip of New Zealand. Heavily illustrated with photographs by Peter Hirst-Smith. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with shallow edge wear. Scarce signed. [#036189] $300
