About This Item

Minneapolis: The Colwell Press, 1950 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Full blue cloth with gilt titles & decoration, frontis., [xii], 158, plus non-paginated 14 pp photo section. Corners bumped & rubbed, previous owner's name on ffep. According to the preface, "Interviews with Minnetonkans, those living here and those who had moved away, have furnished the bulk of this material. To talk to the old settlers was the privilege of a lifetime, whether they were on crutches, in wheel chairs, in bed for life, or still able to get about.... In homes where the early settlers had passed on, their gray-haired children shared with me the pioneer stories 'pa and ma used to tell.' Often they brought out old keepsakes, albums, candlesticks--once even an old silk hat and its companion, a modest bonnet. Before those mute witnesses of the past they talked and I listened." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. 2nd ptg. . VG/No dj. 24 X 15½ cm.

Terms of Sale

Twin City Antiquarian Books

Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). 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. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
