A propos de cet article

First Edition (SD). This book, published in 1930, is in excellent condition. You can see the orange covers in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. The top page edge is also gilt and it too is very bright. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. So too, to a lesser degree, is the bottom edge. All three page edges are very clean. Surprisingly, the corners and edges of the covers are in excellent condition as well. The spine is only slightly lighter than the front and rear. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. In scrolling through, I didn't come upon any soiling at all. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. What makes the book rare is the presence of its original dust jacket. You can see it in the first few photos. It's pretty clean. The spine is clearly toned. There is a nick off the top edge of the front cover. All in all, the wear is quite light. The flaps do not have any print other than price ($2.50) which is just off the top edge of the front flap. Neither of the flaps are clipped. The flaps are clean and have only a little bit of toning. I've had the jacket in a fitted protective cover for as long as I've owned the book which goes back a good number of years. From the Introduction: 'It is eminently fitting that a Rhode Islander by origin should now be re-telling the story of Anne Hutchinson. Too late in the day as it may be to expect any new documentary light on the tragic story, it is none too soon to have it told with a feminine sympathy for the subject of it-- sore beset as she was with ills both spiritual and physical. The reported first club-woman of New England receives at the hands of Mrs. Curtis an interpretation at once comprehensive and comprehending. The story of Anne Hutchinson, and all the grimness of its authentic recoverable outlines, here faithfully set forth, is vital and tragic enough itself to provide the responsive reader with spurs to the imagination so sharp as to bring vividly before him the relative advantages of living in New England some three hundred years after its founding.' 'Anne Hutchinson (1591-1643) was a Puritan spiritual advisor, religious reformer, and an important participant in the Antinomian Controversy which shook the infant Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1636 to 1638. Her strong religious convictions were at odds with the established Puritan clergy in the Boston area and her popularity and charisma helped create a theological schism that threatened to destroy the Puritans' religious community in New England. She was eventually tried and convicted, then banished from the colony with many of her supporters.'.…

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.…
