About Frenchboro Books Maine, United States
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.
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.
First line
From the rear cover
"Deeply into the Bone is guaranteed to change our minds about ritual. Using a global and ethnic array of rites new and old, Grimes shows that contrary to popular belief, the ritual marking of life passages is anything but universal. By teaching us how to think comparatively we see that rites of passage are enduring rituals not for their uniformity, but because they serve as cornerstones for cultural and spiritual creativity and innovation."--Madeline Duntley, College of Wooster
