Imprint: Norwalk, Conn., The Easton Press, 1980 [1980] Black hardcover bound in genuine full leather, frontispiece, 588 pages. THIS IS THE FULL LEATHER WITH GILT BINDING BY EASTON PRESS, NOT THE CHEAPER COMPOSITE LEATHER, OR THE CLOTH TRADE EDITION. Pictures by Robert Ward Johnson, introduction by Theodore Dreiser. Collector's Edition, the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written. Sophisticated binding, three raised ridges on spine. Lettering and designs stamped with gorgeous accents of 22kt. gold - a hallmark of fine bookmaking. This beautiful leather binding was hand selected from individually tanned hides. Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into the binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Endpapers are beautiful satin moiré, specially dyed for the publisher. Edges gilded on three sides to enhance the book's elegance. Satin ribbon page marker bound in binding. Condition: Only a small ding to gilt on fore-edge, probably from shelving. Else Fine, pristine condition. Never read. Book purchased by physician as a collectible for display in his bookcase. Kept in temperature-controlled environment; book not smelly or speckled with humidity stains - and no smoker's smell. In gift-giving condition. This work has been described as the quintessence of its author's commonsense philosophy. It wages war on all extremes, on all shams and pretenses - above all those of which the pretenders are unconscious - on all attempts to take either life or death too seriously. It is full of faintly bitter irony, which the author turns on occasion against himself as well as his victims. A wonderful, close-up of mid-Victorian England. Thoughtful, historical, collectible. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will be receiving when you order. We ship promptly.. Book Condition: Fine.

Maroon binding, gilt designs, gilt lettering, 540 pages, plus Author's Note and 10 pages of books offered by publisher at end.

Text is clear, very readable. Free of smelly humidity stains and the smell of a previous smoker. Not a library book. While this is a book of fiction, it could be defined as closer to non-fiction, since the author, Sir Hall Caine, has based his writing on diaries, letters, memoirs, sermons, and speeches of recognizable people. He presents the type of thinking and character of creed and culture of social effort and religious purpose, which he has seen in the life of England and America at the close of the 19th century. He addresses the religious life, the devil's acre, sanctuary, and the outer world - a man trying to pluck back a woman about to enter the gates of heaven. The young woman is Gloria Quayle, an actress, and the man is John Storm, who become a priest. The author was very famous during his lifetime, the most highly paid novelist of his day. The Christian is the first novel in Britain that sold over a million copies. The author became very famous in Europe and America - and very wealthy. The Christian became a very successful play that ran on Broadway in New York City. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.

For practically every view he propounded, contrary views existed, and they often were defended with force and intelligence by his opponents. This essay on Jefferson's view of the nation is presented in the context of the political conflicts of his time. Alexander Hamilton viewed Jefferson's approach as overly favoring rural America, with its dependence upon market restraints, reliance upon slave labor, and weakening of the central government through excessive favoring of the rights of the states. This essay presents both Jefferson and Hamilton's view in tandem, to suggest something of the nature of the political contest that raged in the final decade of the 18th century - two powerful leaders and their followers contended for the leadership of the nation. Not just dry history, but a collision of views underlying American politics today. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.

Here is a wonderful two-part story by James Fenimore Cooper about the son, Miles Wallingford Jr., of very wealthy landowners, who decides to go to sea after the death of his parents. It's about the personal, challenging, and changing relationship between Miles and Neb, a runaway slave onboard who doesn't get punished because Miles claims him to be his slave.

This book - the sequel or part II, picks up on the story and follows the maritime adventures of Miles, Neb, and Lucy Harding. It resolves many thematic and plot elements left unsettled. Very exciting to read. The story is part autobiographical inspired by author James Fenimore Copper's experience as a sailor, according to Rakuten Overdrive. A collectible book.
