About This Item

New York: Warner Books, 2002. This Stated First Printing from May, 2002 (and, unless it's stated, it's not) also includes the necessary "number line" ending with a "1". This large, heavy book is bound in black boards with die-stamped silver spine titles The book is in New condition as is the unclipped dust jacket. There is a small remainder mark on the edge. From the dust jacket: "Featured here is one of the greatest collections ever of essays by world-renowned historians and writers, plus 400 illustrations, nearly half in full color -- including famous and rarely seen paintings -- historic letters from cadets, treasured athletic memorabilia, and other artifacts. The book includes an Introduction by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and contributions from Sephen Ambrose, William F. Buckley, Jr., David Halberstam, Arthur Miller, George Plimpton, and Tom Wicker. This handsome volume is beautifully presented and would make an ideal gift for anyone with an interest in or admiration of West Point. The book measures 9 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches and includes 304 pages, with Index. I've placed the dust jacket into an archival Brodart protective sleeve. I recommend domestic Media Mail shipping since Priority Mail will require a shipping adjustment due to the book's five-pound shipping weight. (International buyers should email me in advance for shipping costs, which will be somewhat costly.) . First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
