Bottom edge of book has some bumping and light edge wear from being moved around on bookshelves. Text pages clean & bright. Spine ends & corners of dust jacket have a bit of light bumping & rubbing. There is one very small red ink splotch to top edge of book -- it does not appear to be a remainder mark. Dust jacket has a couple of small nicks and beginning tears along with some extremely beginning rolling to spine ends. Overall, a very good copy. -- James A. Michener's U. S. A. is a panoramic celebration of America in the second half of the twentieth century, a uniquely personal view of its history, its dreams, its fears, its struggles, and its ambitions--. Interestingly, when flipping through the book, I found a small section about Bill Clinton, who was, at that time, just voted out of office and had been the youngest govenor in United States history.

Michener, James A. TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC
New York Macmillan Company 1947 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover Very Good+ with no dust jacket
This book is in generally Very Good+ condition. Orange cloth covered boards have blue lettering to the spine of the book. This copy includes the tipped-in title page and is a stated first edition. The text pages are clean and whole, but are noticeably browned / toned due to the poor quality of paper used. This particular copy apparently has two types of paper used in the production --several sections of bound pages have lines of toning / wear and a very light watermark of an 'M' or 'W', alternating with other sections of somewhat poorer quality paper which does not include the lines or watermarks. This is the author's first novel and also a Pulitzer prize winner. It was subsequently made into the massively popular state and film musical -- South Pacific.

Michener, James A. THE BRIDGE AT ANDAU
New York Random House 1957 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright, with the exception of several small, light finger dirt smudges to the bottom corners of the pages. The dust jacket is clean and bright, but does have a couple of beginning edge tears and the faint outline of a previous dust jacket protector along the top and bottom edges (one of the older dust jacket protectors that had the black adhesive edges). The white dust jacket is in very nice clean, bright condition. "There was a bridge at Andau, and if a Hungarian could reach that bridge, he was nearly free. By an accident of history, one of the most inconsequential bridges in Europe became one of the most important bridges in the world. Across it, during a few flaming weeks, fled more than twenty thousand people who had known communism and rejected it. In these few weeks the world learned with a dreadful clarity how bankrupt communism had become as a system of government."
