Beschreibung

Quadrangle Books. Chicago. 1971. 355 pages. First edition, first printing. Gray paper boards quarterbound in red cloth binding; titles stamped in red on front cover; titles stamped in silver on backstrip. Burgundy endpapers. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Charcoal topstain. A nice, tight copy of Rustin's classic that is nearly impossible to find in hardcover without a library past. Pages lay tight in seemingly unread condition. Page edges are clean. Endpapers are clean. Panels and binding are clean. The only flaw on the book is two small spots of minor, faint color transfer from the red cloth binding to the bordering edge of the gray paper-covered front board (minor.) Original DJ with $10.00 price intact on flap. Attractive DJ shows two tiny, shallow edge chips, light rub line on rear, with faint cloud along top edge of DJ; with same minor red hue transfer. All flaws stated. A most desirable and difficult title from the man whose ideas still hold today; a man who organized the March on Washington in the 1940s, freedom rides throughout the South, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, and an entire life spent fighting for equality and justice. In 2013, President Barack Obama posthumously awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom; the highest ranking honor for an American. A rare hardcover first edition, first printing of Rustin's classic; VG+/VG with flaws noted. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003288
