Zustand: Gut | Seiten: 274 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | When Elizabeth Timothy's husband died in 1738, he left his pregnant wife with four small children. The couple's eldest son, Peter, was too young to fulfill his father's printing agreement with Benjamin Franklin. Forfeiture would mean loss of livelihood for the Timothy family. So, under Peter's name, Elizabeth continued to publish the South Carolina Gazette herself in order to provide for her family and insure her son's inheritance. This vibrant piece of historical fiction shares the story of Elizabeth Timothy who became the first female printer in the American colonies, forever changing the face of the publishing industry and leaving an indelible mark on Charleston's-and America's-rich history.

Store description
Seit über 30 Jahren handeln wir mit Büchern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter Bücher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen Bücher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderbücher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten Büchern oder Haushaltsauflösungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbestände von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die Möglichkeit, große Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbestände werden von uns professionell auf Qualitätsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgfältig für den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken Büchern ein zweites Leben.…
