A propos de cet article

First Edition (NAP). This soft cover (I don't believe there was a hardcover) is fairly rare. And expensive: prices range from $67.00 to $150.00 signed and unsigned (there's one other signed book for sale). So I'm pricing my book dramatically below all of these other books. My copy is flat signed by the author on the title page. You can see the covers in the photographs. They are in excellent condition but for one flaw which you likely would never notice. There's an outline of a water stain off the top edge of the front cover to the right of his helmet. This water stain is more conspicuous when you open the book, both on the inside front cover and on a few of the early pages (including the title page, see photo), after which it becomes nearly invisible. It doesn't reach the print at any point. The pages are otherwise in very good condition, very bright and very clean. I didn't see any soiling. Nor are there any dogeared corners or creases. However there is a very slight waviness. With the exception of the author's autograph, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There aren't any markings or attachments. From the back cover 'I was a Boy Scout when Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941. Charlie Stern, Norm Baker and I were listening to a football game at Charlie's home, broadcast from the Polo Grounds in the Bronx that Sunday, when the PA system there started calling out the names and rank of military officers in the stadium, telling them to report to their posts. At that time, we didn't know the Japanese attack was underway. The next day in High School, all the students and teachers gathered together to listen to President Roosevelt's denunciation of Japan and his declaration that "a State of War exists". A very young man in the combat infantry in World War II, Jay Wenk traveled and fought his way across Germany to Czechoslovakia, and then endured Occupation duty in Germany. His experiences away from combat are as crucial to his life and the lives of others as the actual fighting. As a green inductee in basic training, he was profoundly moved by the living conditions he encountered among poor blacks living near the camp in South Carolina. His sense of humor and his feeling for people, some of them German, but not Nazi, is unusual and enlightens all. In the published works on WW II this may be the first deep look into the thoughts and feelings of a young and naive boy from Brooklyn armed with a loaded rifle in Germany. His empathy for others and his humor are unique, and the events of 9/11 were crucial to his writing this account. His life is now involved in anti-war and pro-human rights activities, and he maintains that the evolution of Truth and Reconciliation committees in South Africa represents one of the most important steps forward in human development.'.…

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.…
