The Library of Great Lives with original collector's notes. Forward by Lafayette Frederick. How did George Washington Carver, whose concrete accomplishments on paper did not amount to much more that "doing something" with peanuts, sweet potatoes, homemade paint and recipes, come to be known as a great man who made brilliant inventions? How was it that his more significant contributions were lost in the myth-making that surrounded him? The author addresses these questions and others as she joins biography with a sensitive exploration of Carver as a symbol of black ability and achievement and the rewards of tolerance, and demonstrates his immense impact at a difficult point in the history of American race relations Features Includes all the classic Easton Press qualities: * Premium Leather * Silk Moire Endleaves * Distinctive Cover Design * Hubbed Spine, Accented in Real 22KT Gold * Satin Ribbon Page Marker * Gilded Page Edges * Long-lasting, High Quality Acid-neutral Paper * Smyth-sewn Pages for Strength and Durability * Beautiful Illustrations

The Easton Press, signed, limited, numbered, Deluxe Slipcased edition of Fahrenheit 451 is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely. Cased book put in plastic bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, nestled in packing peanuts, placed in a sturdy box, then placed in another sturdy box w/more packing peanuts. Fort Knox in a Double Box! Good thing too. USPS gave it a beating, but the book arrived intact! Thrilled to add to my growing Fahrenheit 451 collection! Thanks you! !Seller Highly Recommended!!

Order was well packed and seller was extremely helpful. Had to be out of town and seller was kind enough to hold off on mailing so the books wouldn’t be left on our porch. Thankfully the seller was so easy to work with because we had a horrible thunderstorm with 70-80 mph winds and the books would have been left on the porch and damaged for sure. Will definitely be purchasing from seller again!
