Sobre este artículo
New York: Hill and Wang (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), 1990 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Brown boards, rust brown cloth spine with gilt titles, xii, 305 pp, notes. bibliography, index. DJ in Brodart archival cover. Contains 50 illustrations reproduced from 19th-century sources. From the DJ: "Kasson writes of the deep tensions created by the demands of democracy, the pressures of an expanding market economy, and the desire for social distinction. Vividly and with humor, he re-creates the deferential and often coarse society of colonial years, then its transformation as aspirations and social forms earlier restricted to the gentry became popularized. ... Etiquette advisers sought to instruct the rising middle class on the ways of egalitarianism: how to present onself at home and in public; how to express pleasure and affection and suppress anger and conflict; how to conduct oneself with decorum (no hissing, no rowdiness) at a concert or theatrical performance." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Edition. . Near Fine/Near Fine. 23½ X 16 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.
