About This Item
Boston: The Atlantic Monthly Press - Little, Brown and Company, 1963 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Light brown cloth with publisher's device blind-stamped on front board, top edge dyed red, xii, 434 pp, 28 b&w drawings (one at the head of each chapter), index. Spine ends turned in, slight edge wear, a few small spots on edges of boards, corners of a few leaves creased, owner's stamp on title page. DJ somewhat soiled and rubbed, with a 4 cm snag at rear joint; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "The Americans traces broad themes -- the evolution of free political, economic and social institutions, the changes in basic ideas and assumptions, and the pressures upon spiritual and familial forms -- without losing sight of the mass of men and women who shared the American experience. Its approach enables this work to escape excessive emphasis upon a few great men and upon the traditional succession of political and military events." Based on both primary and secondary sources, but without the usual scholarly apparatus of extensive notes. Shipping weight 3 lbs. (International 2 lbs., 8 oz.). First Edition. . VG/VG-. Illus. by Samuel H. Bryant. 22 X 15 cm.

Terms of Sale
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
