The Andrée Diaries: Being the Diaries and Records of S.A. Andrée, Nils Strindberg and Knut Frænkel Written During Their Balloon Expedition to the North Pole in 1897 and Discovered on White Island in 1930, Toogether with a Complete Record of the Expedition and Discovery | 
Completely ignoring the facts that I bought it for research and that it contains the original account of Swedish explorer S.A. Andrée's fascinating and tragic attempt to reach the North Pole by hot air balloon, I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! It's an old library copy, copiously illustrated, and has maps!
