This copy has all edges gilt and the front cover has a gilt vignette of 3 boys on a boat repeated on rear cover in blind stamping. Illustrated with 4 plates. This was only the third book written by the prolific William Taylor Adams (here using his Oliver Optic pseudonym).

This title was a marked change from Sunday School stories or Jacob Abbott’s books. It was so successful that Adams wrote 5 more Boat Club titles creating the first of his prolific adventure tale series and also creating a “first” in mass market publishing for boys. Rare. $1200.00
