Original published in 1937 it tells the story of how in 1930, Erroll Flynn and three friends decide to cruise the north Australian coast on their 44- foot yacht Sirocco. Departing from Sydney, they intend to explore the Great Barrier Reef up until Drake's passage, before crossing the sea strait to New Guinea.

At that moment, in the sunset on Watership Down, there was offered to General Woundwort the opportunity to show whether he was really the leader of vision and genius which he believed himself to be, or whether he was no more than a tyrant with the courage and cunning of a pirate. For one beat of his pulse the lame rabbit's idea shone clearly before him. He grasped it and realized what it meant. The next, he had pushed it away from him.

Unpacking and organizing my books and rediscovered one I love but dislike the cover art of (and it's an older, ex-library copy so it's got contact paper on the paperback cover that's sort of coming off in places). I'd really like to figure out how to rebind it, but... I do not have this skill or the tools. 😅
Anyone out there do this as a hobby or know of somewhere I can look for getting it done?

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

What you're hearing is all fact. You have to believe me. No matter how crazy it sounds, this really happened.
My name is Robin Hathaway. I'm a journalist who recently joined the International Network of Information - INI for short. I hoped I'd get to further my journalism career, but instead I got to work with Walt Winston, an eccentric paranormal detective. They called me his secretary, but I think 'babysitter' was far more fitting.
I didn't believe in ghosts, but that would soon change at the Everglade estate.
