Item description from seller

First printing. "The Spiritual Odyssey that Ended in an Act of Violence in the Streets of Selma, Alabama and Galvanized the Conscience of a Nation." James Reeb was a white minister, working for social justice in the Roxbury ghetto of Boston, when he went to Selma, Alabama in response to Martin Luther King's call for clergy of all denominations to make a stand for civil rights. Two days later, leaving a restaurant with two fellow Unitarian ministers, he was brutally murdered. The author of this biography based it on his extensive research and interviews with those who knew Reeb, and also his own personal experience of working with Reeb in the 5 years before his death. Illustrated with photographs. Index. 242 pp. Very good minus in turquoise cloth with gilt lettering on the spine in a very good minus dust jacket (some dampstaining affecting the margins of the endpapers and a few pages, some bleeding from the cloth to the interior of the dj) Despite the flaws this is a decent copy of an uncommon book.

Store description

Bookfever.com - the name used by Volk and Iiams, Booksellers- specializes in first editions of twentieth century literature, with an emphasis on women authors, African American, Native American and Latin American authors - plus mystery & detective fiction, science fiction & fantasy, poetry and children's & illustrated books. We try to offer many uncommon books, and have a large selection of first books, and books by authors who are less frequently collected. Of the approximately 60,000 volumes in stock, the majority are hardcover first editions, although we also stock vintage science fiction paperbacks as well as sf digests and pulps. We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children¿s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books. Call us at 209-274-6960 or contact us by email heyyou@bookfever.com) Our web page is https://bookfever.com/ Traditional bookseller grading used - fine is our highest grade (an "A"), very good is above average (a "B), good is average (a "C"). All significant flaws are described; dust jackets are protected by archival covers, and books are packed carefully for shipping. We welcome questions by email or phone.
