MIRROR OF THE SEA is a first-rate account by Joseph Conrad but this edition, by someone called "First Rate Publishers", is nearly unreadable. The print is microscopic and the chapters are organized poorly. This book looks like very poor quality home publishing put together by an illiterate; if you're in search of this fine account by Conrad, go elsewhere for a copy.
