Flat, uncreased spine. Illustrations. Chronology. From the Introduction by John Zug: "The Amanas are a wispy brush of soft memory across the face of yesterday that never can quite be recreated, even in the mind. For times change relentlessly, and with it come changes in the faces and beliefs of the people, and even in the face of the earth as they place upon it their mark. Here was the New World home of the Community of True Inspiration, founded in 1855... Their way was communal... There were 25,000 rich acres, and each member -- of German, Swiss, and Alsatian ancestry -- handed down his skills from father to son, from mother to daughter, in the Old World tradition. Thus were manned the farms, woolen mills, meat smoking plants, furniture factory, wineries, community kitchens, and other industries.". 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Trade Paperback. Near Fine condition. 192pp.

About About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
