In fact four miniature books of (8)ff each, here attached but with perforations between. At the rear of the accompanying envelope the reader is encouraged to separate the books into their distinct stories. Each one illustrated throughout in color to accompany its boat-specific narrative: the yacht, the passenger liner, the aircraft carrier, and the tugboat. The first image in each volume shows the appropriate captain in his appropriate garb - in their attached state, the panoramic view is quite amusing, with the naval officer in his tidy blues and the tugboat captain devilishly disheveled. One of six in the publisher's series of "4-Together" books. Bound in illustrated wrappers and held in sleeve, which can be set free-standing. Mild rubs mainly to sleeve, else very good. Only microfilm copies located in OCLC.
