SEASON FOR WAR.

Kluge, P. F.

New York 1984, Freundlich, 1st US edition, hard bound in dust jacket, , 6x9, VG/VG cond. 262 pp. From From 1885 to the turn of the century, Captain Henry Lawson, his wife Lucy, journalist Edwin Carter Morrison and Lawson's command, the all-black 25th Cavalry, travel from the heartland of America to the vicious Apache campaigns of the Southwest to the jungle warfare of the Spanish-American War in the Philippines. A remarkable historical itinerary; no less remarkable are the people who follow it.In all his point-blank vigor, Henry Lawson is the embodiment of the frontier soldier. He savors pitting himself against a worthy enemy. His place in history-"History? You ride it or it rides you. I don't know."-does not concern him. Wars-"They happen. Somebody starts them up. You fight till they're finished."-do not confound him. But Lawson has a rare charisma, a power that compellsothers to follow him, to make of him a far grander thing than he makes of himself.Lucy Lawson's power rivals her husband's. Her passionate ambition is to secure Lawson's place in the world. Cultured, beautiful, perhaps more suited to the salons of Paris than the Arizona desert, she embraces life in a rough outpost in order to have a hand in history-making. And she enlists the help of others, especially the men who love her

New Terms 2018 ************************************************************

 

THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US - WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.

 

COMBINED POSTAGE- with E-bay’s new system, many of you cannot ask for an invoice. Be assured, if you must pay for a number of separate titles, we will always refund all overpays on combined postage when processing the order

 

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE NOTICE  !

 

 

AS OF MAY 14th, 2007, THE US POSTAL SYSTEM HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED INTERNATIONAL MAIL RATES - ALL SURFACE MAIL HAS BEEN DROPPED, THERE WILL ONLY BE TWO CLASSES OF AIR MAIL= PRIORITY OR FIRST CLASS.

 

Due to increasingly higher U.S. postal rates, and the many packages that we have lost or damaged, on International Mail, we now only will ship internationally via E-Bay’s Global shipping program, which goes by courier services. Although expensive, many times they are cheaper than what I could send it for by US Mail – and much more secure.

 

 

TO ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS - WE SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ONLY THROUGH EBAY’S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM. EBAY HAS SET UP A SHIPPING HUB IN THE U.S. WHERE WE SHIP YOUR PACKAGE. EBAY THEN SHIPS OUT TO YOU. THE ACTUAL SHIPPING PRICE IS LISTED ON YOUR PAGE, FOR YOUR COUNTRY.

WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS PROCESS, EBAY WILL INVOICE YOU AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE PAYMENT. WE CANNOT CHANGE SHIPPING COSTS, WE CANNOT SHIP DIRECTLY TO YOUR COUNTRY. WE CANNOT DECLARE AS A GIFT OR CHANGE THE SHIPPING PRICE.

 WE CANNOT DECLARE A LOWER SELLING PRICE SINCE THE SALE IS THE RECORD. AT PRESENT EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW US TO COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS.

 

Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts". U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

 

 

ON PAPER BACK BOOKS & MAGAZINES, MANY TIMES WE CAN COMBINE SEVERAL BOOKS AND SAVE POSTAGE IN THE US ONLY.

 

If you have further questions - happy to answer them

Please browse our other items and bookmark our site - we constantly add new items.

 

We pack your item extremely carefully so you will receive it in the best condition.

This sometimes causes us to be a day or two late in processing orders if we have a good number of sales as we normally only drive to the Post Office on Monday, Wednesday & Friday. 

 Please be patient- we aim to provide the best service we can. We have been in business 50 years.

 

VINTAGE PAPERBACK BOOKS

 

    Please be aware that the binding glue in vintage paperbacks is likely to be much drier than newer books, and thus more fragile than more modern printings. Paper also can be sometimes somewhat brittle. 

     All vintage paperbacks require proper & careful care in handling & reading or the spine glue will crack!!.

 

 

SHIPPING TIMES

 

WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE ARE EXPERIENCING 2 – 6   WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF MAIL USED. 

 

Shipments inside the US are also experiencing massive slowdowns, please be patient. Media Sometimes is taking 1 to 4 weeks with no rhyme or reason as to why.

 

IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE.    PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT,   PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED. 

 

 ( Due to be budget shortfalls and massive job cuts, and projected closing of many distribution centers, that are  being implemented by the US Post Office   - we are already seeing delivery times longer than was seen previously – please be patient )

WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS & WE KNOW BY BITTER EXPERIENCE JUST HOW SLOW THE MAIL CAN BE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING . Bob Ruman
