About This Item
New York: W. W. Norton, 1972. First Edition . Hard Cover - Cloth Spine. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Is Stanley Stanhope a lunatic? Or is he a hyper-patriot, determined to clean up America, transforming it into the great nation envisioned by its forefathers? When he learns that his hometown civil war hero was a bounder, womanizer, and drunkard, things get "complicated". 271 pages. CONDITION: The book itself is in Near Fine condition - bright, tight, square, unmarked, and uncreased, with minimal shelf-wear. Its dustjacket - now in a clear mylar (removable) protective cover - is bright and attractive, its front-flap $6.95 price intact, with the following issues: light edge-wear with a couple small edge-tears, plus a small front-flap bottom-corner clip and vertical crease. This is a handsome copy - at a generous price.
