The Whale Museum, located on San Juan Island in Washington state, recently received a donation from a personal library of approximately 150 books on whaling and whale-related topics. While we have added most of these to our collection, there are about 60 books that we would like to sell to raise money for the museum. These 60 books are a diverse collection on the topic and range from common to rare. The most valuable of the books are being listed on E-Bay by one of our volunteers. Those titles include: "Cap'n George Fred" Himself; Addendum to "Starbuck" and "Whaling Masters"; Journal of a Voyage to the Northern Whale-Fishery; Seasons with the Sea-Horses (this is currently on E-Bay); Stove by a Whale; The Arctic Whalers; The Whalers of Akutan; Whales & Destiny: The Rivalry Between America ; and Whaling and Fishing. If you are interested in any of these titles, please visit E-Bay. All of the titles should be listed soon. The rest of the books are at the museum, and we have been selling some of them in our store. A sample of the titles and prices are: Arctic Rovings: or The Adventures of a New Bedford Boy on Sea and Land $8; Baleia! Baleia! Whale Hunters of the Azores $10; Flying the Chase Flag $7; John F. Kennedy Scrimshaw Collector $10; Melville and His World $8; The Charles W. Morgan $8; and Whales, Whaling and Whalecraft (paperback) $8. Prices do not include shipping. I have a complete list of the titles including author, publisher, and publication date in Excel format. If you are interested in any of the books or would like the complete list (I am still working on some prices), please email me at christi@whalemuseum.org or call me at (360) 378-4710 ext. 27.
