Hardcover Book, Visiting Our Past, National Geographic Society, First Edition, Non-Fiction, American History, Illustrated

A wonderful hardcover book called Visiting Our Past America's Historylands by National Geographic. This book has illustrations in color and black and white.

Visiting Our Past America's Historylands was published by National Geographic in 1977 to honor the American Bicentennial. "Our main highways to the past remain what they were in the pre-electronic age before photography, before radio and television: our books and our landscape." In these words, historian Daniel J. Boorstin, Pulitzer laureate and Librarian of Congress, keynotes the unforgettable adventure of Visiting Our Past. In the rich colors of more than 400 illustrations and the lively writings of Dr. Boorstin and seven other author-historians, you experience a compelling odyssey that sweeps from shore to shore, from border to border in search of America's historylands.

As New: The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old.

Fine: A Fine book approaches the condition of As New, but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
