Reply Requested from a Fellow Cruiser
Book lover, sailor and fellow cruiser, David Swanson, is hoping to find the second edition of Claiborne Young’s Cruising Guide to Coastal North Carolina. If you happen to own the second edition, please contact David with the copyright date and/or the ISBN number to aid in his search for a copy. Better still, offer to sell David your copy.
I got into sailing & cruising the North Carolina coast in 1983, about the time that Claiborne published his first book. Over the years I have owned many copies, some of which were destroyed & others that were left on boats that I sold. We remodeled our house last year & I sorted out all my “boat books”, I found that I have the following:
First Edition. 1983 – This is the original I bought, and it is in tatters. The cover features a white background.
Third Printing 1989 (I think this is also the first edition, but the type & page numbers are a little different)
Third Ed 1994, labeled “Revised Edition” . The cover has a blue background
Fourth Ed 1997
Fifth Ed 2000
Sixth Ed 2005 (two copies, a signed one for home and another one for the boat). The cover of these has a grey background.
I seem to be missing the second edition. I’m pretty sure I had it at some point. My question is, does anyone know the copyright date and/or ISBN number for that? I emailed the publisher of the last edition, but they did not have that information. I’d like to try to find a copy of the second edition, and having either the date or the ISBN number would make it easier to search online used book sellers, eBay, etc.
Thanks for any help.
David Swanson
