About This Item

This book is in very good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, edges, and spine of the cover boards. There is essentially no bumping or fraying on the cover boards, although there is some wear on the dust jacket. The pages are beginning to yellow but there are no markings on the pages.

She needed some time off...." - Chapter One from America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation
