About This Item
New York: Arbor House Publishing Co., 1986. Advance Reading Copy (ARC) . Paperback. Fine Minus. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. This is an "Advance Uncorrected Proofs" copy - often referred to as an "Advance Reading Copy" [or ARC] and an "Unedited, Uncorrected Page Proof" - fast becoming an attractive collectible, as it precedes the First Edition. When hospital-trained midwife Penny Armstrong takes on a job delivering the babies of the Amish, she discovers an approach to giving birth which would change her life forever. "A Midwife's Story is a life-affirming book that never fails to enlighten, inform and surprise. Honest and ultimately very moving, it is inspirational reading for all student midwives and expectant parents." 210 pages, with a laid-in promotional letter from the publisher's Senior Editor. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased, evidently unread Fine minus copy with negligible shelf-wear - just a small bump at the bottom-front spine corner. This handsome, highly collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
