Quarter brown cloth over paper boards; front board printed in burgandy and black; pp. [iv], 88; text lithographed from handwritten issues; with numerous illustrations by Airey; rubbing to cloth spine and boards, especially at extremities; free endpapers have been trimmed; internal hinge of upper board expertly repaired; a discolouration to title, with light even toning to paper stock, a good copy of this incredibly rare newsletter published aboard the Navy ship Minotaur.'

First edition. The 'Minotaur' Monthly Moocher, a small on-board publication of a newsletter. This volume contains the lithographed text from the hand-written issues distributed on-board, running from October 1879 to April 1880. This privately-printed collection of the journals contains an abundance of wit and quips, including an article titled The Gunroom Alphabet: 'D stands for Dillon, he's fond of his duff, no posterior to speak of, but plenty of 'fluff' (p. 58).

HMS Minotaur was the lead ship in the Minotaur-class of iron-clad armoured frigates and was launched in 1863. Pears and Peyton were midshipmen, while Airey was a clerk.

Westie LOVES this toy
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
My pup (Westie) adores this toy. This is actually our second one. The ball itself is resistant but the straps will be obliterated. Would definitely recommend! Totally worth the price!

Not durable
Color: Black/White, Size: Large
If you have a dog who likes to pop things then this toy isn't it. Within 5 min she had this ball popped. It was made to sound like it was durable for this type of thing but it definitely is not so just be aware. Now if you have a dog who doesn't pop things easy then this would be a good toy

WHAT I LEARNED
Color: U.S.A, Size: Medium
i AM NOT SURE THAT 4 STARS IS A FAIR SCORE, MY DOG IS AN AGGRESSIVE CHEWER, NEEDLESS TO SAY WITHIN 2 DAYS ALL THE TABS WERE OFF, BUT THERE WERE NUBS LEFT AND SHE CAN USE THAT. HERE IS A WHAT NOT TO DO, BRING IT TO THE DOG PARK, THEY ALL HAVE A BLAST BUT IF YOUR A BULLY/PIT MIX AND DECIDE TO SINK THEIR TEETH INTO IT, IT DOES DEFLAT. LESSONS LEARNED STILL A FUN TOY.
