Synopsis

Common Sense was a cornerstone of the American Revolution and remains one of the most notable early American texts. Long cherished among academics, Common Sense was recently put back in the pop-culture spotlight thanks to the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-Winning musical, Hamilton, which features the pamphlet prominently in one of its opening numbers. Our edition contains the original text and spellings along with a brief description of the author. The package is unlike any other version of this book currently in the marketplace, a covetable gift format. The cover mimics an embroidered sampler, with a cloth-like texture wrapped around the full case, and raised embossing effects to make the stitches feel real. The cover design is a mashup of patterns found in colonial times and more contemporary colorways, creating a product that is approachable for fans of history and fans of the musical. The back cover also contains endorsements from key historical figures (who also happen to be characters in the musical) to tie it all together. A special gift edition.
