The Art of Captain Cook's Voyages: The Voyage of the Resolution and the Discovery 1776-1780 (Studies in British Art)

Rating:
Summary: Spectacular
Review: This is a wonderful book - of particular interest to Australians of course, to whom Captain Cook is a prominent historical figure, but also to anyone interested in the grand tradition of the master mariners and adventures on the high seas.

Physically it is a beautiful book as well, with fabulous illustrations and quality paper. Perhaps not a book for everyone, but for serious collectors it is a gem.
