They are good quality non-fiction geared toward youngsters in grades six through ten, written by noted authors (including several literary award recipients). Content, in general, is pretty much true to history without that much embellishment or sugar-coating, and illustrations, including maps, are usually printed in a two-color process. The book club editions were issued from the same print runs as the trade editions, with the only means of determining which is which being a notation on the inner flap of the dustjacket. Tan cloth, pictorial endpapers, 180 pages, printed dustjacket. The book looks and feels about new, with no names or other markings. The mylar protected dustjacket has some very light edgewear and lightly creased are on the rear panel. A clean and sound copy. Price: 10.00 USD
