    Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Netherlands. Lulu. Published by the Author. 2010. Soft Covers. Post 4to 10" x 8" [25.4cm x 20cm]. Pictorial covers. Colour photography to title page and throughout the book. 40 pp. Inscribed by the author to the title page and dated 2013. Between the Canary and Madeira Islands, we find the tiny, barren and uninhabited Selvagens. Far from the tourist crowds, these volcanic outcrops house fantastic seabird colonies and unique species of flora and fauna. The Selvagens were colonized by Portugal in 1438. Being virtually destitute of water, they have only had temporary inhabitants like fishermen, bird hunters and scientists. Many stories have been told about buried pirate treasures; we do not know whether those treasures ever existed but this book reveals some spectacular stories of genuine treasure hunts. The covers will be protected with a new inert archival 100 micron sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.
