About This Item

New York: Random House, 1969. Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Bound in full brown cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. Blue-gray topstain. Octavo. 338pps. Stated First Printing. There is very faint dustspotting to the closed page-edges and a previous owner's name is neatly penned on the front pastedown (behind the jacket-flap). Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no dog-ears, crimping, thumbing, or creasing. The dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, is mildly rubbed with light general edgewear; the original price (6.95) is intact. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on the ffep. A very nice, collector's-quality copy. ".The time is the late summer of 1962. The place is Clark Air Force Base in the Philippine Islands. A new sergeant, 'Slag' Krummel, arrives from the States to take over the 721st Communication Security Detachment, a collection of dissatisfied, rebellious enlistees. Narrated by Krummel, 'One To Count Cadence' begins as a story of the peacetime Army, the drinking and whoring, the defiance of officers and regulations, the camaraderie of lonely men and women with too much time on their hands. Comic, absurd, violent, 'One To Count Cadence' is a mirror of that part of a generation reared on violence, actors in the American wars of the 1960's who can no longer believe in the myths and institutions of their country. Exploring with fidelity and compassion the men who make war and are, like all of us, its victims, it is least of all a war novel. It is a book about friendship -- especially that of Krummel and Private Joe Morning, 'The best of us, the most damned of us all.'." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
