required text in my english 380 civil war class. great book, lots of foot notes sometimes bigfoot sized foot notes. not too light, not to heavy, just right for reading. lots of pictures, not colored though. this is a top notch book. see if you can get it used i had to get mine new. half inch margins on the sides and 3/4 inch margins at the bottom, so if you like to write in your book as you read there is room at the bottom and sides for what ever thought you have associated with the text.
Item came quickly and as described. I bought it for my Moby Dick Class. I don't know how else to talk about my experience but this is requiring I write a hundred words. Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.-Mr. Herman MelvilleRead full review
