Fuil gunuine leather. No dust-jacket as issued. A major contribution. Washington Post The authoritative single-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, perhaps the most significant figure in American history. He was a complex and compelling man: a fervent advocate of democracy who enjoyed the life of a southern aristocrat and owned slaves, a revolutionary who became president, a believer in states' rights who did much to further the power of the federal government. Drawing on the recent explosion of Jeffersonian scholarship and fresh readings of original sources, IN PURSUIT OF REASON is a monument to Jefferson that will endure for generations.

The Easton Press, signed, limited, numbered, Deluxe Slipcased edition of Fahrenheit 451 is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely. Cased book put in plastic bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, nestled in packing peanuts, placed in a sturdy box, then placed in another sturdy box w/more packing peanuts. Fort Knox in a Double Box! Good thing too. USPS gave it a beating, but the book arrived intact! Thrilled to add to my growing Fahrenheit 451 collection! Thanks you! !Seller Highly Recommended!!

Order was well packed and seller was extremely helpful. Had to be out of town and seller was kind enough to hold off on mailing so the books wouldn’t be left on our porch. Thankfully the seller was so easy to work with because we had a horrible thunderstorm with 70-80 mph winds and the books would have been left on the porch and damaged for sure. Will definitely be purchasing from seller again!
