John Robson’s Captain Cook’s World charts the globe-spanning journeys of Britain’s most famous navigator, pairing crisp biographical detail with rare historic maps and illustrations. The 2000 Australian first edition hardcover delivers 280 pages of exploration, geography and maritime history in a jacketed, illustrated volume built for collectors and curious readers alike.

This vintage Random House Australia printing shows its age with light foxing on the opening pages, yet the block remains tight and unmarked—no notes, dog-ears or smoke damage. A clear window into Cook’s Pacific discoveries and Australia’s mapped past, it’s ready for immediate shelf or study use.

Ideal for enthusiasts of antiquarian cartography, Australian history or nautical biography, the book offers both visual appeal and reference depth without academic heft. Secure packaging ensures the dust jacket and boards arrive protected for your personal library.
