This is one of a number of books I bought from the same sale that had been on the shelf for 50 years. The Real Books were a series of books for budding teenagers in a variety of subjects. They received an award from the Boys Club of America for excellence.
This book is about The Sea and filled with drawings. It's in excellent condition and doesn't appear to have been used very much. It was written by Samuel Epstein and Beryl Williams and illustrated by Si Frankel. It still has a book order form inside with the next offering in 1960.

Due to Ebay's new feedback system I offer the following conditions on any subsequent sale. I have been participating on Ebay since the beginning. I expect to get what I purchase and I deliver to a Buyer what they paid for. Buyer expectations need to be realistic. Most Seller's have real jobs and don't live on their computers. It is unrealistic to expect immediate gratification when purchasing an item. I have always been a fast shipper in comparison to my experiences when buying on Ebay and yet my marks are lower because Buyers don't understand that Ebay now charges Seller's more for fees for anything other than #5 ratings. I sell a lot of vintage items at a large discount. I check them over with a magnifying glass and describe any material defects I see. It is possible that I miss something now and then and I will accept a return on those items when it is something other than a matter of opinion. Buyer must provide me with documentation of that misrepresentation as I have provided pictures in the listing. My experience is that some people will say anything trying to get an item for free. I don't always clean the items because I don't want to de-value them. I leave that to the Buyer. I know you want a deal and so do I. But please don't waste my time or yours in offering ridiculous amounts of money for items of value. I pack the items so that they will arrive at your door in the same condition that they left mine. I spend $500+ a year on packing material. If you don't want to reimburse me $2.00 in packing material then please don't bid on my items and then complain later in feedback or ratings. If your item doesn't require packing material I won't charge you the fee but don't expect to buy something breakable and then have me pay more to ship to you after you bought at bargain prices. Paypal is a great invention but occassionally it doesn't work properly. If your item doesn't show as shipped within a few days please contact the Seller. The shipping calculator is a great thing but sometimes it doesn't work properly. If you buy and check out on your own, without me sending you an invoice, then it may happen that I have to contact you for different shipping information or costs as the calculator has been off on large items recently. You may have been able to purchase an item from someone living near you for lower postage but keep in mind that I am on the West coast and shipping will be more to the Midwest and East Coast then it is to someone who lives nearer to me. This is especially true of larger, heavier items. I will ship parcel post or even UPS or Fed Ex if that rate is better. I will mutually cancel a transaction if the calculator is materially off and we both agree. But please don't make an agreement to change from priority shipping to parcel post and then ding me in feedback and ratings because shipping took too long and you received a refund from me. That's unfair. And when the entire system becomes so slanted in one direction or another it will fail. Please contact me with any concerns you have. I am very reasonable and fair. But I have never complied with blackmail or unreasonable demands. I keep my agreements and I expect you to keep yours. Please ask questions BEFORE you bid. Since it is no longer your choice for insurance I will provide insurance on items that I have a concern might break in transit and will say so in the listing. If you are interested in an item and you think it should have insurance please tell me ahead of time if I have not offered it and you can purchase it in the shipping price. I have had the privilege of trading with a great variety of people all over the world for over 10 years and I look forward to continued fun and new experiences. I do Ebay for relaxation and fun and will continue to do so as long as it remains relaxing and fun. Thank you for your continued support and bids.
