About Frenchboro Books Maine, United States

Biblio member since 2005
Seller rating: This seller has earned a 1 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

We handle books from academic libraries (from institutions and scholars), both deaccessions and gift books from alumni, and from closed Seminary Bookstores. Our original location was on a remote island in Maine, the Island of Frenchboro, and thus the origin of our name. For a time we operated a brick and mortar store in Bangor four days a week, and then moved that to the Antique Marketplace on Main Street in Bangor, which still caries some of our stock. The major stock of our business is now housed in Louisville, Colorado. Our listings can include a wide range of material, but the majority are non-fiction, scholarly works.

Terms of Sale:

Our intent is to provide exceptional service in selling significant books, accurately described, at very competitive prices. Orders are generally processed and shipped within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavier, or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Returns are accepted for items that are not as described. Books may be returned for other reasons after you have contacted us with your request and we have agreed. International Delivery cannot be guaranteed--the purchaser must request and pay for insurance. All returns must be made with the book in the same condition that it was shipped and in an equivalent shiping container. We wrap all books in newsprint and mail them in cardboard mailers or Priority Mail packaging.

Media reviews

"I strongly urge everyone to read this volume of essays. . ." The Educational Forum

"Convictions may indeed be interpreted as Sidney Hook's final outlook on the possibilities of a self-determined, dignified, and rational human life, or liberal education, and of a free and intelligently organized society. . . .[it] will be appreciated by anybody with an interest in contemporary social and political philosophy." Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy newsletter

"Highly recommended." Library Journal

". . . the collection stands as an accessible and highly readable record of the personal convictions of one of America's most notable social philosophers."
American Journal of Theology and Philosophy

"His latest collection shows him to have been to the very end a nonpareil marshaler of arguments, as well as an exemplary figure in American intellectual life." Washington Post
