About This Item
Stanford University Press, 1973. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Analysis of Chinese ancestor worship from a social anthropological perspective. Part of a collection of social science books just removed from storage where they have been since the 1990s following review for an academic publication. To get them listed expeditiously, we are foregoing our usual detailed descriptions: we trust you'll know if a book is what you're looking for! You can be sure that, unless otherwise noted, ALL are LIKE NEW & unopened. Completely clean & unmarked, bindings straight & strong in like DJs. The DJ here has a bit of rubbing to extremities. The book shows foxing to all outside page edges. As such, they are both downgraded to Near Fine--else, a brand new book. A chance to build your library with essentially new books that have been long out of print or not seen the light of day in decades! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends, & holidays ship very next business day.
