    A SHALLOW-WATER DICTIONARY: A Grounding in Estuary English.

    Edition: First printing, a trade paperback original.

    Cambridge, MA: Exact Change, (1990). First edition - A rather appealing and quirky book, as much as extended essay on estuaries and an account of his trips navigating the creeks, brooks, and estuaries of the southern Massachusetts coast around Scituate and Marshfield in his 16-footer boat 'Essay' as it is a dictionary - although he does define many words, and also refers to historical definitions in old Websters and more, as he laments that many of the vernacular words are fading from common speech. Illustrated with photographs by the author. Uncommon in the first printing. 43 pp. ISBN: 1-878972022.

    Condition: Near fine in illustrated wrappers with self-flaps ('B' stamped on bottom edge).
