Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1968 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. White cloth, green & gold titles on spine, green endpapers, xx, 255 pp. Spots on spine and fore-edge, otherwise very good, slight soiling around edges, corners of rear board lightly bumped, scattered faint pencil marks. A nicely printed collection of articles on cities, originally published in various place from 1925-1968. Mumford does not mince words, as may be seen in the opening of Chapter 6, The Highway and the City, written in 1958: "When the American people, through their Congress, voted last year for a twenty-six billion dollar highway program, the most charitable thing to assume about this action is that they hadn't the faintest notion of what they were doing. Within the next fifteen years they will doubtless find out; but by that time it will be too late to correct all the damage to our cities and our countryside, to say nothing of the efficient organization of industry and transportation, that this ill-conceived and absurdly unbalanced program will have wrought." Shipping weight 2 lb.. First Edition. . G-/No dj. 22 X 14½ cm.

Términos de venta
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
