COTTMAN, EVANS & BLASSINGAME, WYATT — Out-Island Doctor
UK, Hodder & Stoughton. 1979. Paperback with dust jacket, 20cm. Ill.: Guy Fleming. Book, 248pp, picture section amidships, and less than 500g to post. Relates the American physician's settlement on Abaco in the Bahamas and setting up practice there in the 1960s after giving up his practice in a small American town. Cottman made a "leap of faith" after a cursory preliminary reconnaissance, took to sailing, built a castle, married an Englishwoman & became something of a legend - sounds like a cross between Diver Dan/ DI Richard Poole/Crichton(of the admirable Crichton fame). Good/None issued.
