Otherwise, text block clean & tight; no writing, no markings noted. Dust jacket crisp & shiny; not price clipped. There are 20 black & white illustrations / photographs throughout. * From the front flap, '. . . This scholarly, but never stuffy, book argues that Americans express their gentlemanliness through a variety of specially adapted usages and customs. We see that American gentility has actually been shaped by the unique nature of the New World experience: the wilderness, race relations, transplanted Englishness, and the cherished place of business in our national consciousness. . . In this book, modern American literature itself becomes a prism through which to evaluate social claims, and examine morality and standards of conduct. . . '
