About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: E P Dutton, 2002. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A multi-generational saga of a powerful South Carolina dynasty that experiences both the American Revolution and the Civil War. Stated first printing with correct full number line sequence. The pages are clean and bright with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Spine is tight and crisp. Boards are flat and true, and the corners are square. The textblock edges show some very, very light discoloration, and there is a definite 1/2" spot on the bottom edge, but that's it! Dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows minimal, if any, shelf wear. This collectible, near fine, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Synopsis
Charleston follows the lives, loves and shifting fortunes of the unforgettable Bell family from the American Revolution through the turbulent antebellum years to the savage defeat of the Confederacy-and represents America's premier storyteller at his very best.
