Book, as does every copy of 'The World and Africa,' states 1947, but dust jacket text refers to Du Bois in 1950, so likely published that year. Hardcover shows almost no wear; unclipped ($3.00) DJ, with Liberty Book Club coupon on rear flap, is unfaded with light edgewear. Autographed by W.E.B. Du Bois on front endpaper and dated Dec. 11, 1951. 'It is not only for a new deal to Negroes that Dr. DuBois pleads, but also for a long-delayed recognition of the important part in the history of the world played by their motherland, Africa, and for its dignity in a future world order.' A startlingly uncommon title signed. 276 pages. Contact me for a possible discount.

Store description
Hi all! I've been accumulating volumes for well over half my life, mostly autographed and inscribed copies. Wrote a book on book collecting for a Random House imprint in 2004 and another, "Book Collecting Now: The Value of Print in a Digital Age," for Chatwin Books, published in 2019. I intended to keep most of these books forever, but my wife and I decided to move to Manhattan, which meant downsizing from an enormous suburban house, with practically unlimited bookshelf space, to an apartment in Greenwich Village. So hello, AbeBooks!…

Terms of sale
If I've mischaracterized a book, please let me know, and I'm happy to accept returns for refunds.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within three business days. I generally pack books in boxes, with padding, and unless they're unusually bulky or heavy -- more than four pounds or so -- I won't ask for additional shipping costs. For domestic media-mail buyers, anyway. Prices for international and even priority shipping can get *insane*.
