FUNDAMENTAL: CLASSIC: COLLECTIBLE: FINE virtually AS-NEW First Edition hardcover set: Complete in Two Volumes (Orig. 1945) Thirteenth Printings (1980): Original jackets in FINE condition protected in precisely applied mylar-sleeves, EXCELLENT unblemished text-block… exteriors w/ cut-page-style "deckle" side-edging, NEW silk-finish black linen-over-boards covers w/ sharp NEW edges & corners & titles in fresh gilt-stamp on spines w/ seal of the United Sates gilt-stamped on front panels, IMPECCABLE cream-white card-stock end-papers, AS-NEW sewn bindings w/ tight signatures, PRISTINE interiors beautifully printed on SUPERB cream-white centuries-lasting archival paper * A Note on the Type used in the Two Volumes of the Set: The texts of these books are set in Caledonia, a Linotype face created by W.A. Dwiggins, who designed these volumes. Caledonia belongs to the family of printing types called "modern face" by printers--a term used to mark the change of style of type letters that occurred about 1800. Caledonia borders on the general design of Scotch Modern, but is more freely drawn than that letter. Mr. Dwiggins planned the typographic scheme, & designed the binding. * Volume I: 5.86" x 8.62" x 1.62", 0.78 kg , cxiv+434+xx (568) pp - Volume II: 5.86" x 8.62" x 1.24", 0.62 kg , xiv+402+xiv (430) pp - The Set, Complete in Two Volumes: 5.86" x 8.62" x 2.86", 1.40 kg , 568+430 (998) pp * ABOUT THE TWO-VOLUME SET: "Democracy in America" was the first comprehensive study of the political & social institutions of the United States. After almost two centuries, this seminal work still retains its preeminence as the most perceptive & enlightening examination of its grand subject. Originally published in Paris in 1835 & 1840 & widely available in English throughout the 19th-century, in the early decades of the 20th century the book went out-of-print in the United States. It is this splendid edition--"Further Corrected & Edited w/ Introduction, Editorial Notes, & Bibliographies by Phillips Bradley"--that restored this great work to its wide public. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Professor Bradley's edition should remain the standard one for our time." F.O. Matthiessen, NYTBR "It is, perhaps, the greatest work ever written on one country by the citizen of another." -Harold J. Laski * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this SUPERB two volume set for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
