About This Item
New York: Harper & Row, 1969. Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 9 3/4h x 8w. A real nice clean unmarked 304page first edition hardcover. Has just a little wear to dust jacket and still very nice. Has 44 colored plates and many black-and-white illustrations from period art work. Priestley demonstrates why he finds in the (Regency) period 'a character, a tone, and tang all its own', seeing it as an era marked by extravagance of behavior and personality, by superb achievements in literature and art. One which swung 'between extremes of elegances and refinement and depths of sudden brutality'..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
