Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (Number Line to 1). Signed and inscribed by the author on the first front end paper. The inscription reads: To JoAnn Wellner for all you do for Tufts. In celebration, Brian, 11/98.' Twenty years later, in 2018, Ms. Wellner made a large…donation to Tufts to create a Professorship, the first response to the university's Professorship Partnership Challenge. The Kenneth and JoAnn G. Wellner Professorship also honors her husband who had passed away seven years earlier. Both the book and the dust jacket are in excellent condition. You can see the covers of both in the photos. There is one tiny white nick at the top edge of the rear cover of the book. The edges look very good. The spine looks very good. The page edges look perfectly clean. The spine is straight in the book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The inside covers and end papers are a light blue. They are very clean and are free of wear. The same can be said for all the pages in the book. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. There is light toning at the margins, typical of what you find with semi-glossy paper. I'm not seeing any instances of creasing. I saw one small, inconspicuous scratch on one page. There are no markings. No attachments. And the author's signed inscription is the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. There are a great many photographs. They are all in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the photos. I've always had it in a fitted protective cover (Note that the protective cover is causing glare in the relevant photos). The jacket is very clean. I'm not seeing any conspicuous wear, no tears or creases. The flaps are in very nice condition as well, very clean, no tears or creases. There is light toning at the top and bottom margins of the flaps. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. From the dust jacket: 'Author Brian O'Connell, a nationally recognized expert on the voluntary sector, leads this extraordinary tour of volunteering in America. Twenty-five volunteers, aged 13 to 84, speak out passionately on how and why they volunteer, and the rich rewards volunteering brings. A team of the country's best photojournalists, many from Magnum Photos, has captured the warmth, surprise, and humanity of volunteer work and the many ways it lets people transcend the boundaries between them. With 75 duotone images and a preface by Thomas Moore, this heartwarming, intimate portrait will inspire everyone who doesn't yet volunteer, and renew the commitment of those who do.'.
