About This Item
New York: Random House, 1968. Book. Illus. by Robert Vavra. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean un-read copy. This copy has a white see through stain to the top edge of the text block. The PC jacket, which has always been the weak point of this title, has some soil, has some rubbing wear, light edge wear. A very nice over-all copy, poor jacket. A monster with over 800 pages and none of the wear usually associated with a book this size. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY. .
Synopsis
James A. Michener was one of the world’s most popular writers, the author of more than forty books of fiction and nonfiction, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Tales of the South Pacific, the bestselling novels The Source, Hawaii, Alaska, Chesapeake, Centennial, Texas, Caribbean, and Caravans, and the memoir The World Is My Home . Michener served on the advisory council to NASA and the International Broadcast Board, which oversees the Voice of America. Among dozens of awards and honors, he received America’s highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1977, and an award from the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities in 1983 for his commitment to art in America. Michener died in 1997 at the age of ninety.
