New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 1992 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Beige boards, brown spine with gilt titles, ix, 290 pp, bibliography. Covers inverted. DJ in Brodart archival cover. The well-read author combines travel narrative with allusions to past writers on Wales. From the DJ: "Baily followed no set route. In the warm Welsh sun and wet Welsh rain he sauntered and strode along city streets, Roman roads, mountain paths, country lanes, and coastal cliffs and beaches. He stayed in B-and-Bs, small hotels, and hostels. Whether in primary schools or village pubs, hill farms or mining communities, in conversations with sheep shearers or professors, with Welsh patriots or refugees from urban England, Bailey gets close to a land which has both a tantalizing foreignness and endearing familiarity." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First US Edition. . Near Fine/Fine. 21½ X 14½ cm.

Terms of Sale

Twin City Antiquarian Books

Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
