Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Stated First Edition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are clean. There is color fading off the top edges of the blue part of the covers. The silver lettering on the spine is quite bright. There's just a little bit of crinkling at the spine ends. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The book is square and solidly bound from cover to cover. The pages are exceptionally clean. I've scrolled through them a number of times without finding any instances of soiling. One top corner of a page was turned down and has a fairly sharp crease (away from the print). That has left a very light impression of itself on two pages before and after the creased page. I didn't see any other creasing anywhere in the book. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover. You may be able to make out a vertical shaded line on both the front and rear cover. That's caused by the change on the covers of the book from the black to the blue, with each having a different texture (see fourth photo). Hence, this will be the case on all the jackets of this book. The jacket is in decent shape. There's a tear off the top edge just adjacent to the spine, another one on the spine, and there is a tiny loss at the bottom edge of the spine. The flaps are in very good condition with just a little indent at the top edge of the rear flap. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. As mentioned, it is already protected by a fitted cover. The book begins with statements by John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. They are followed by a Foreword by Sargent Shriver. There are chapters written by Walter Heller, David A. Morse, Emmanuel Pelaez, W. Willard Wirtz, and Sargent Shriver. From the front cover: 'Money alone will not build a viable world. There must be indigenous trained manpower to perform the "middle level" tasks. Here a distinguished group of world leaders tells of constructive ways to give new countries a chance to live and develop.'.

Shop-Beschreibung

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.
