This book is a great read for those interested in the 1940 E.W. Scripps cruise to the Gulf of California. To use it, simply sit back and start reading. As it's an older book with some wear, handle it gently to avoid further damage. When not in use, store it in a dry place to prevent more soiling and foxing. If you notice any loose pages, you can use a bit of archival tape to secure them.
