The dust jacket is in new condition with no discernible wear. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; By necessity, by proclivity, by delight, Ralph Waldo Emerson said in 1876, we all quote. But often the phrases that fall most readily from our collective lipslike fire when ready, speak softly and carry a big stick, or nice guys finish lastare those whose origins and true meanings we have ceased to consider. Restoring three-dimensionality to more than fifty of these American sayings, Tippecanoe and Tyler Too turns clichés back into history by telling the life stories of the words that have served as our most powerful battle cries, rallying points, laments, and inspirations. In individual entries on slogans and catchphrases from the early seventeenth to the late twentieth century, Jan Van Meter reveals that each one is a living, malleable entity that has profoundly shaped and continues to influence our public culture. From John Winthrops We shall be as a city upon a hill and the 1840 Log Cabin Campaigns Tippecanoe and Tyler Too to Martin Luther King Jr.s I have a dream and Ronald Reagans Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall, each of Van Meters selections emerges as a memory device for a larger political or cultural story. Taken together in Van Meters able hands, these famous slogans and catchphrases give voice to our common history even as we argue about where it should lead us."; Height: 0 Inches, Length: 0 Inches, Weight: 1.30954583628 Pounds, Width: 0 ; 344 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
