About This Item
Crown Publications, 1997. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good. Critically important, honest look at the experiences of the approximately 100 million Africans brought against their will to the United States for the purposes of slavery. Based on materials from the Black Holocaust Exhibit (which the author created & curated), this is an interactive book with historical papers, memoirs, documents, personal effects, & photos brought to life in a three-dimensional format. A fascinating introduction to Black history, appropriate for all ages! A FIRST EDITION, First Printing from 1997, this hardcover book has glossy decorative paper over boards, in 32 pages, lavishly illustrated on all. Condition is downgraded to VG because it is an ex-lib copy, but with very minimal stamps & markings in front matter only. The paper covering the spine had torn & been reglued, outlines of tear still visible, but secure; corners are bumped. ALL of the interactive pop-ups & pull-tabs function perfectly; all documents present, most seem to have been never removed from their envelopes! Extremely clean, binding pages unmarked, colors bright. Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have. Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays, Pacific time; later orders, weekends, & holidays ship very next business day.SORRY: book is too large for expedited domestic or any international shipping without pre-approval of extra (at least double) postage per USPS rates.
