The book I received from the Vendor "A Death in the Family" was exactly as described. Clean and beautiful. It was extremely well packaged and the item was delivered in a timely manner. "A Death in the Family" is easily an American Classic and I'm glad that this vendor chose to honor both the book and the author by keeping it in such wonderful condition. The book rivals "To Kill A Mockingbird" in its achingly simple yet beautifully articulated vision of early America, and the arc of the American family. Superb.
