Haley, Alex Roots (The Saga of an American Family)
New York, NY, U.S.A. Doubleday 1976 0-385-03787-2 / 9780385037877 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover
Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Brown boards quarterbound in black cloth. The spine is stamped in brown and gilt. 587pps. Stated First Edition. There is mild bumping to the lower tips, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket -- glossy in a mylar sleeve and first-state with Haley standing, hands in pockets (no briefcase) -- is lightly rubbed at the tips; there are, also, a couple of short, closed tears at the top of the front panel. No chipping or soiling. The original price is intact. A very nice, collector's-quality copy.
"...When he was a boy in Henning, Tennessee, Alex Haley's grandmother used to tell him stories about their family -- stories that went back to her grandparents, and their grandparents, down through the generations all the way to a man she called 'the African.' She said he had lived across the ocean near what he called the 'Kamby Bolongo' and had been out in the forest one day chopping wood to make a drum when he was set upon by four men, beaten, chained and dragged aboard a slave ship bound for colonial America..."
