A propos de cet article

Chicago: American Library Association, 1978. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR as "Bob Downs" directly on the half title page. SIGNED copies are SCARCE. We have only one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket. The jacket has one tiny edge chip and is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. Square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a remainder. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Bibliographical notes. Bound in the original black-stamped maroon cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From GoodReads: "From the Bible, the Iliad, and the Republic to Civil Disobedience, Das Kapital, and Silent Spring, this revised and greatly expanded edition is a monument to the power of the printed word-an informative discussion of many of the most important works ever created." GoodReads rating: 3.75 stars. From a 2010 review by Al Bita: "Of all the books I have read on this subject, this is the best. For anyone interested in getting a bird's-eye view of some of the most influential Western books, this will give some well-argued representatives. The range is extensive, from the Bible, to Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring', covered in 27 [actually 29] chapters. Most of these are dedicated to one author and one of their books; but there is a total of 43 authors covered and over 62 texts looked at. The subjects include religion, science, drama, history, psychology and economics, among others. A brief description of the particular book or work in question is given; arguments in favour, and arguments against; and a summary explaining why the work is considered influential. All of this is done in clear, precise, well-written form. It is always difficult for someone to choose which works of literature have provided the greatest influence (for good or ill) and inevitably some favourites may be found 'missing' -- that is par for the course in the production of books such as this. For me, however, this has been the most enjoyable and satisfying treatment of significant works that have certainly had an effect on Western Civilisation. Highly recommended.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Second Edition, revised and expanded. Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. x, 400pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
