About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1947. First American . Hardcover. Fair/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 220pp. Pp. 5--7 admit to several short tears and creases to outer margin, with no effect on the reading of the text. Ex-library, though no library treatments to cloth covers. Binding very slightly cocked, and boards perhaps very slightly bowed. Several minor bumps to extremities of volume, with just light additional wear and soiling to exterior. A hint of a crease to cloth over spine, though this isn't terribly offensive. Another previous owner's bookplate to front paste-down. Price-clipped dust-jacket admits to fairly heavy wear, including chips and tears, medium rubbing, and a sticker and clear tape to lower spine area. Overall, still a good, clean, sound, user friendly copy
Synopsis
In the classic Miracles, C.S. Lewis, the most important Christian writer of the 20th century, argues that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. -C.S. Lewis Official Website.
