Synopsis
A sailor narrates the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge on Moby Dick, a white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee. Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off -- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

    Item was as described. Shipped in a reasonable amount of time, but not fast. Only thing I was very disappointed in was the lack of care in packaging. While the book isn't particularly valuable in terms of dollars, I was hoping care would be taken in packaging, Paperback book was in a ziplock bag, inside another very flimsy plastic bag. No cardboard or bubblewrap to stiffen or protect corners. Better care should be taken to ensure buyer receives item in exact same condition as advertised.

    I had a major surgery and was unable to provide the usual care we take in packaging. When I read the buyer's feedback, I immediately provided a refund for the price of shipping. I want all of my buyers to be satisfied.

    Item arrived in perfect condition, promptly and as described. USPS beat up the shipping package a bit, but seller provided more than enough protection for the book to come through with no damage. Thank you!!
