About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1974 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Full grey cloth, red & foil titles on spine, red endpapers, 255 pp. Remainder mark on bottom edge, edges of boards faded. DJ smudged, slight edgewear, tears to 1 cm at ends of rear joint; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "In an age when all America seems to be traveling down the road to a bland uniformity of styles and commercialized, plastic sameness, there still remains one last group of true romantics anchored to their convictions, beliefs and folkways--the good old boys, the white Southerners with their mystique of fast cars, moonshine, country music, stock-car radcing and Southern machismo. In this marvelous and eloquent book, Paul Hemphill... celebrates the last of a dying breed--and his own childhood and upbringing." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Edition. . VG/VG. 21½ X 14½ 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.
