About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1968. Possibly a First Edition, with no later printing history noted, this fascinating study of Black history, as seen through the eyes of both contemporary and period authors, illustrates the roles that African Americans have played in U.S. history from their African roots through slavery, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement. Contributors includes W.E.B. Du Bois, John Hope Franklin, C. Vann Woodward, Benhamin Quarles, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. The book is in close to Fine condition, but with a former owner's inscription on the front free endpaper. The book is bound in a light salmon colored cloth with a brown spine cloth, and die-stamped gilt spine titles. The binding is tight and secure, and the pages are clean, white, and bright throughout. The unclipped dust jacket has some chipping at the spine tips, plus several tears that have been repaired on the reverse with non-acidic tape. I've placed the dust jacket into a Brodart protective sleeve. (Click on photo.) The book measures 6 by 8 1/2 inches and includes 553 pages. . Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
