Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1973 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Dark grey cloth with gilt and red foil titles and decorations on front board and spine, top edge dyed grey, xvii, 334 pp, index. Owner's name stamped on fpd and top & bottom edges. DJ slightly rubbed at extremities; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "Readers will finish this book not only with a new view of how the modern economy works, but also with a new sense of what it takes to avoid its more disastrous effects. Galbraith, as may be expected, presents his powerful and even revolutionary analysis in a style that is disarmingly elegant and witty. Somehow it seems improper (though fortunate) that a work of such commanding importance and intellectual depth should be so thoroughly accessible to the average reader as well as to the professional economist." Shipping weight 3 lbs. (International 2 lbs., 4 oz.). First Edition. . Near Fine/Near Fine. 23½ X 16 cm.

Terms of Sale

Twin City Antiquarian Books

Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
