A propos de cet article

Not clear on what edition this is, could be a first. Signed by both authors on the title page 'Best wishes! Pete Hilgartner', 'Sam Ginder' (see photo). As you can see from the photos, the covers are in excellent condition. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is quite bright. I don't see any wear that needs to be called out. The book is square and very solidly bound throughout with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. I scrolled through the pages several times without finding any instances of soiling. I'm not seeing any creasing. There is a tiny nick off the outer edge of ten or so consecutive pages, nothing much of anything, no tears. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And with the exception of the two signatures, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There are a good number of illustrations, mostly old photographs, including one of the author's friend Jackie Bouvier (who would later of course become Jacqueline Kennedy). The author met her through his pal Hugh Auchinicloss, Bouvier's stepbrother. He admits to having had a 'secret crush on Jackie.' All of the photos are in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. The jacket is in excellent condition. It is exceptionally clean. Again, I don't see any wear that needs to be called out. The flaps are in excellent condition. The jacket is not priced or clipped. This book won the United States Marine Corps Gazette 2005 Francis Fox Parry Combat Initiative Award. From the dust jacket: 'Highpockets Hilgartner is a recognizable and, well respected name in the Marine Corps. The story of this Marine's development into the combat leader he became is not just inspiring-- it will continue to motivate emerging Marine leaders well into the future. Combat leaders are not born, nor do they necessarily show up when they are needed. The Marines who served with Peter Hilgartner were very fortunate to have someone of his caliber and experience when the fighting became desperate.' 'Highpocket's War Stories serves two important purposes. It eloquently describes Peter Hilgartner's coming of age, first at the Naval Academy, then in the Korean War, and later as a skilled combat infantry leader in the Vietnam War. It is also a powerful articulation of the basic leadership fundamentals that became the foundation for his success in a difficult and demanding series of important infantry battles.'.…

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.…
