Make sure you get a copy with the illistrations and not an OCR. This book is the true account of Lionel Wafers trip across the Panama region in the late 1600s while traveling with (Although seperated from, I shall say no more, this is such a good book I don't want to ruin it for any of you) William Dampier by Lionel Wafer himself . If you do find you like this book and haven't read the works of Dampier, Woodes Rogers and Basil Ringrose, do so.
