We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "This is a highly amusing account by a veteran of the wars against the Americans and the French. Hoffman captures the humanity of those sailors who spent years at sea. If you want mundane dates and detail, this book is not for you. Hoffman presents the authentic voice of the professional. His memories are not just of battles, but of the small details of life at the time. His account of borrowing a tradesman's horse in Devon had me laughing aloud - and is longer than his eye-witness account of Trafalgar."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 197 pages. Seller Inventory # 26082
