Shark Cage Under the Red Sea Ted Falcon-Barker Chilton Book Company 1969 First Edition Ex-library copy in overall good condition. Square, sound, and internally clean aside from institutional markings, stamps, labels, and card pocket remnants. Red pictorial boards remain attractive with moderate handling wear and rubbing at edges and corners. Dust jacket is present beneath a protective cover with library labels and tape residue. Interior remains surprisingly well preserved with crisp pages and strong photographic content throughout. Nicely produced late-1960s undersea adventure volume illustrated with striking black-and-white shark diving photography and full-page plates. Bound in red cloth-backed pictorial boards with a clean typographic jacket design and substantial coated paper stock. Includes chapters on shark behavior, protection methods, shark repellents, Red Sea expeditions, and underwater cage diving, along with dramatic photographic sequences of divers and sharks in open water. An increasingly scarce firsthand account from pioneering diver and adventurer Ted Falcon-Barker, capturing the era when recreational and scientific shark diving still felt genuinely unexplored. The volume blends practical shark knowledge, expedition narrative, and underwater photography into a fascinating snapshot of mid-century ocean exploration culture. Scarcer than many comparable diving narratives from the period, particularly with jacket present. Please take a moment to view all photos for
