Troubled Waters
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. Hardcover. 12mo. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #005332
Sandy Steele Adventures. First printing stated. Original brown cloth. 186 pp. A few spots of foxing to boards and edges of text block. Age toning to pages. Dust jacket chipped at spine foot, a few short tears, bumping and creasing to extremities. "Look before you leap" is excellent advice, but Sandy and Jerry didn't follow it. They assumed that the trim little sloop in the cove was Sandy's boat that had drifted away in the storm, and they gaily sailed off in it. Unfortunately, though it looked enough like Sandy's new sloop to be its twin, it belonged to some very unsavory characters. When Sandy and Jerry discovered their mistake, it was too late to return the boat with an apology. They were in trouble - real trouble. Their efforts to outmaneuver their pursuers, together with the sailing lore, add up to a fascinating book.
