A propos de cet article

[shopworn copy, binding solid but with slight fraying to cloth along bottom edge and at top of spine, some discoloration to endpapers; jacket is well-worn, small tears and minor paper loss at several corners, faded at spine, old external tape reinforcements across both ends of spine extending into front and rear panels]. Historical novel, set from 1853 through 1901, centering around a Massachusetts minister and his young lawyer son who catch California fever, "the pull of the pioneering spirit," and set off for the West. "In a sweeping, panoramic novel of the turbulent years of growth of a great state, [the author] tells the story of their trek across the continent, their settlement in the fabulous town of San Francisco, and their participation in the stirring events of the next half-century." (The father is described as a "friend of Emerson, Thoreau and Bronson Alcott," and transforms himself from a man of the cloth into a teacher, while the son goes into politics; after the Civil War he leads "a spirited but futile resistance against the domination of California by the Big Four." (This reference is to the guys who built the Central Pacific Railroad: Leland Stanford, Collis Potter Huntington, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker.).…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
