Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding remains notably tight and square, with the original mustard paper-covered boards showing no discernible shelf-wear or bumping to the extremities. Internally, the pages are exceptionally bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing or reading wear, presenting a pristine text block. The accompanying dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, retaining its original vibrant colours without fading; it remains unclipped, exhibiting only the most minimal trace of superficial edge crinkling along the top margin.

Catalogue Note: This 2001 edition, published by PRC Publishing Ltd, offers a comprehensive visual history of the American Civil War. The volume is richly illustrated throughout with full-colour and monochrome reproductions of historical maps, which were rigorously researched and procured from the National Archives by TRH Pictures.

Locating a copy in such sharply preserved condition with a highly presentable dust jacket is quite desirable for military historians and cartography collectors alike.

A crucial resource for understanding the strategic and tactical complexities of the American Civil War, this volume brings together an extraordinary collection of historical maps. Charting pivotal engagements from the First Bull Run and Chickamauga to Sherman's March to the Sea and the fall of Petersburg, Michael Sharpe provides an immersive cartographic journey through the conflict. Each map offers a unique, period-accurate perspective on the battlefields, making it an indispensable reference for those looking to explore the defining moments of a divided nation in vivid, geographical detail.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
