About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1973 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Black cloth, xv, 432 pp, 8 ff b&w photo plates, notes on sources, bibliography, index. Head of spine turned in, a few light spots on boards, address label on recto of ffep. DJ worn at corners and spine ends, with a couple of ½ cm tears at head of spine; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "Gardner tells the poingant story with full attention to the historical processes operating; the book is the first to concentrate solely on Roosevelt's life after he left the White House. But he also manages to suggest strongly that personal drives -- a need for action and glory -- motivated Roosevelt as much as his political beliefs did; and that his failure to achieve any of his goals after 1908 brought personal tragedy in its train." This lively work relies heavily on Roosevelt's published letters, as well as secondary sources. Shipping weight 3 lbs. (International 2 lbs., 12 oz.). First Edition. . Near Fine/Near Fine. 23½ X 16 cm.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges.
