From The New York Review Children’s Collection- a hardback with paper boards and distinctive red cloth quarter bound spines. Sadly due to rising publication costs, these cloth spines are being phased out and replaced with paper ones, so the cloth binding will soon be harder to find. The pages inside are quite crisp and new-looking except for the unfortunate orange highlighting on page 245 (pictured). Otherwise I might have listed it as Very Good.

I described it as “Fair” mainly because of that crease you can see on the bottom left of the back cover. It has no writing, marking, or highlights. This title is often on high school required reading lists. This is a good reading copy to carry around. I’ll include a nice bookmark or 2  ; )

Like New- book has not been read so pages are still crisp- no creases or bends. No marks of any kind. Front and back cover have flickering pictures that change when tilted (lenticular) so I have included 2 photos of both.

A preowned copy with excellent appearance. The last photo shows a slight crease at the top of the dust jacket, which is the only reason I haven’t described the condition as Like New.

An Unsolved Mystery from History

In this spine-tingling book from the nonfiction An Unsolved Mystery from History picture book series, journey to colonial America and discover the enduring mystery of the missing Roanoke Colony. In 1587 John White was chosen by Sir Walter Raleigh to lead a new colony at Roanoke off the Atlantic coast. After bringing many men, women, and children to the new land, White went back to England to gather supplies for the long winter. But when he finally returned to the fort almost three years later, he found that all of the colonists had vanished. The only signs of life left were the letters CRO carved into a tree and the word CROATOAN carved into one of the fort’s posts. Did the Spanish army capture the colonists? Did the colonists get in a battle with the native people—or join them? Did they try to follow John White to England and get lost at sea? Become a detective, study the clues, and see if you can help solve this chilling mystery from history!

The State of White America, 1960-2010

Coming Apart - an acclaimed bestseller that explains why white America has become fractured and divided in education and class.

In Coming Apart, Charles Murray explores the formation of American classes that are different in kind from anything we have ever known, focusing on whites as a way of driving home the fact that the trends he describes do not break along lines of race or ethnicity.

Drawing on five decades of statistics and research, Coming Apart demonstrates that a new upper class and a new lower class have diverged so far in core behaviors and values that they barely recognize their underlying American kinship--divergence that has nothing to do with income inequality and that has grown during good economic times and bad.

The top and bottom of white America increasingly live in different cultures, Murray argues, with the powerful upper class living in enclaves surrounded by their own kind, ignorant about life in mainstream America, and the lower class suffering from erosions of family and community life that strike at the heart of the pursuit of happiness. That divergence puts the success of the American project at risk.

The evidence in Coming Apart is about white America. Its message is about all of America.
