About This Item
Tuscaloosa, Alabama: University of Alabama Press, 1997. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 421 pages. An inspection finds no apparent underlining, no highlighting, no bookplates, no owner names, not ex-libris, no remainder marks. A touch of wear at the head and tail of the spine of the volume itself. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality cover. The dj was scotch taped down at the front and rear dust flap but fortunately we were able to remove this tape without any apparent damage to the book. Number line in the work reads as follows: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . 03 02 01 00 99 98 97; my interpretation of this is that the work is a first edition, second printing. If you disagree with my interpretation you are free to apply your own as the numbers in the book are stated for you. A serviceable copy of a World War II history for the WWII buff. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box.
