Descripción del artículo del vendedor

(no dust jacket) [moderate wear to edges and extremities, slight exposure of boards at lower corners, previous owner's stamp and another previous owner's signature on ffep (the two sharing a last name, probably a father and son; see notes)]. (B&W photo frontispiece of the author) Primarily an anthology of writings (articles, essays, letters to the editor) from the publication "Liberty," founded in 1881 by Tucker and published by him until 1908. Per scholar Wendy McElroy, it's "widely considered to be the finest individualist-anarchist periodical ever issued in the English language," and (per Wikipedia) "was instrumental in developing and formalizing the individualist anarchist philosophy through publishing essays and serving as a format for debate." The writings of Tucker (1854-1939), an anarchist and socialist, (again quoting Wikipedia) "contributed to the development of both left-libertarian and right-libertarian political theory in the United States and were often reprinted in early libertarian journals." The book opens with an essay, "State Socialism and Anarchism: How Far They Agree and Wherein They Differ"; the remainder of its contents are organized under the following headings: The Individual, Society, and the State; Money and Interest; Land and Rent; Socialism; Communism; Methods; and Miscellaneous. 512 pages, including the Index, plus two pages of advertisements in the back: one for "Liberty" itself ('The Pioneer Organ of Anarchism in America"; subscription two dollars a year), the other a list of a dozen works of "Anarchistic Literature" that could be mail-ordered from Mr. Tucker. The book was published in London in 1895 and Tucker himself issued a second edition in 1897, but this 1893 printing was the first; library holdings are plentiful enough, per OCLC, but quite scarce in commerce. The ownership stamp on the ffep is that of Frank E. Hartung, a long-serving (1942-1978) professor of sociology at Wayne State University; the signature, just beneath it, is of Dr. Urban L. Hartung, Sr., presumably Prof. Hartung's father.…

Descripción de la tienda

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
