Stanford University, 1961 (second edition, copyright 1956) - physically, just a gorgeous book, an absolute tome. Given its age, the interior color of the front and back illustrations is outstanding, with little wear throughout. An Indiana University stamped library slip is still inside from the '70s. It's cleary American history, so you can guess the typical contents, but it also contains many detailed illustrations and charts. Would make a great gift for those interested in the specific leanings of the topic. Don't hesitate to ask any questions!
