A propos de cet article

First Edition (NAP). There are just a couple of other copies of this book for sale on the Internet. It appears to have only been published in a soft cover edition. This copy appears to be unique for being the Only Non-Library copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. Making it even more unique, it is signed and inscribed by the editor, the Only signed copy. And the inscription is to the author and historian John Toland who is best known for a biography of Adolf Hitler and a Pulitzer Prize-winning history of World War II-era Japan, The Rising Sun. The inscription reads 'For John Toland, a good friend and counselor. Aloha, Paul Hooper, April 6, 1982.' I own several books that were once owned by John Toland. Off the top page edge of the half-title page the previous owner penciled the words 'inscribed to author John Toland.' That penciling could easily be erased. The book is in very good condition. When I purchased it, it was in the protective plastic covering that you can see in the photos (the diagonal line on the front cover crossing from the middle edge to the bottom edge is on the protective cover not the book, and the light at the top edge of the spine in the second photo is glare off of the plastic protective cover that rises above the top edge of the book's spine, again not on the book itself). For appearances sake it might look better without the protective cover, but I'll leave it to you to decide whether you want it on there or not. The covers are in nice condition. There is a little wear on the top edge of the front cover, and a little scuffing on the spine. There may be a small closed tear on the spine as well, hard to tell whether it's a tear or a scuff, or perhaps just a light fissure. There's one small spot off the top edge of the rear cover. Hard to know whether it would come off or not (I think you'd have to cut the protective cover to get it off). The interior of the book is in exceptional condition. Fair to say that it looks new, unused. The pages are perfectly clean. There aren't any creases or dogeared corners. There are no markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the signed inscription (which is on the title page) and the penciled words on the half-title page which I've referenced, there is no writing to be found on anywhere in the book. You can read the names of the contributing writers on the front cover (first photo). 'The Pacific Community Lecture Series is an amalgam of public lectures and scholarly papers designed to provide Pacific leaders with a forum to express their views on the regionalist movement.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
