"Just when you thought there was nothing new under the sun when it comes to publishing Joshua Slocum's classic book, Sailing Alone Around the World, you're about to be proved wrong. But Slocum himself has been dead since 1909, so what could possibly enhance his tale more than 100 years later? The folks at Zenith Press found a way. They created a lovely coffee-table edition of Sailing Alone Around the World with the addition of excellent photos from Slocum's time and current and old photos of the areas he visited on his route. They added artifacts and maps as well. This new edition will be popular even with those who have read it many times before." - Good Old Boat Magazine "Sailing Alone Around the World has been published in so many formats, but probably none as attractively presented as this Illustrated Edition. It will serve you well on a cold night as you sip a glass of Scotch in your armchair while dreaming of oceans unsailed." - SAIL Magazine "This new edition is lavishly illustrated with the original ink drawings from the 1905 printing, historical maps, and colorful photographs of Slocum's ports of call and a replica of his ship, Spray, that sailed in the 1930s. It's also filled with excerpts from other sailors and sailing enthusiasts inspired by Slocum's journey." - Porthole Cruise "Just when you thought there was nothing new under the sun when it comes to publishing Joshua Slocum's classic book, Sailing Alone Around the World, you're about to be proved wrong.

You probably own a well-worn copy of Sailing Alone Around the World, but it's nothing like this beautifully produced illustrated edition from Zenith Press. Lavishly illustrated with 150 paintings, photographs and maps, the book also includes excerpts from other circumnavigators, as well as other well-known sailors and writers including Henry Dana, Geoffrey Wolff, William F. Buckley and Nathaniel Philbrick. The definitive edition of a classic sailing memoir, this exceptional book would be a fine gift for your favorite young sailor." * WindCheck Magazine *
