Very little wear, to book or dust jacket. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked. A history of African Americans from 1500 to 2013. Connected with the documentary film shown on PBS. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Textured pictorial paper covered boards. The cover is worn at the corners and edges, boards showing through at the lower right corners. The pages are tight and intact, with some food staining.
