About this Item

First Edition ( 'Published July 1936' ). This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the blank verso of the illustrated first front end paper. He also penciled a good number of parentheses at the margins of the pages, did some pencil underlining, and wrote a word or two at the margin a few times. Prior to Dr. Bell, the book was owned by another individual who penned his name off the top edge of the front inside cover along with the date 1936 and the University Of Chicago. It's a reasonable guess that the crossing-out lines over this name, etc. was the work of Dr. Bell. You can see the covers of the book in the photos. They are in very nice condition. There is a speck of soiling on the front cover. I scratched a bit of it off, the remaining bit seems a little stubborn so I decided to let it be. The spine color is somewhat darkened. The gilt lettering on the spine is still very bright. There is a little crinkling and rubbing at the bottom edge of the spine, one teeny tiny tear at each spine end. The cover edges are in good shape, although the two bottom ones have specks of white coloring. The corners look very good, no rubbing. The bottom page edge has four speck-sized spots, none of which impact the actual pages. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover. The pages are mostly very tight, there are no instances of a crack or space between any of the facing pages. The covers are nicely tight as well, no issues there. The inside covers and endpapers, front and rear, form the same map of Palestine. Off the outer edge of the rear end paper part of the map, someone wrote in 'Social Security No. ____________, 7-27-37.' I blackened out the numbers. Odd thing to do, different time, conscience and culture. The interior of the book is in very solid shape. The pages look very clean. Scrolling through, I'm not seeing any soiling. I'm also not finding any creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. Finally, there are no markings, no attachments, and I have already related the totality of the writing. There is a frontispiece 'Block Diagram of the Near East'. After the Preface and Table of Contents there is a 2 1/4 page List Of Illustrations which are identified as Figures. They all appear to be in excellent condition. William Creighton Graham was a professor of Old Testament language and literature at the University of Chicago from 1926 to 1938, before he moved to Winnipeg and served as Principal of United College from 1938 to 1954. Herbert Gordon May was Assistant Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at The Graduate School of Theology, Oberlin College. He was part of the Standard Bible Committee responsible for the 1945 Revised Standard Version of the Bible. In 1966 he became the chairman of that Committee.

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
