A bit of a backstory to this one: it was inside the steamer chest that is now my coffee table when I bought it. The previous owner of the chest had used it to carry their belongings from Alert on Ellesmere Island. This particular copy of "Children of the Frost" spent who knows how long in the northernmost permanent settlement on Earth.
