The Cambridge Economic History of the United States, Volume I: The Colonial Era, Stanley L. Engerman and Robert E. Gallman — 1st Edition

Publication: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1996

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [xi], 481.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume presents exceptionally well, remaining firmly encased in a crisp, similarly preserved dust jacket. The dark blue cloth binding is tight and perfectly square, completely free from discernible bumping, rubbing, or edge-wear, while the gilt spine lettering set against the red title label remains brilliantly unoxidised and sharply struck. Internally, the hinges are entirely secure and the text-block edges are cleanly uniform, devoid of any foxing or dust-dulling. The pages themselves are bright, crisp, and remarkably clean, entirely lacking any previous ownership signatures, institutional stamps, or reading marks. The accompanying dust jacket is wonderfully maintained, boasting vibrant, unfaded panels and sharp edges with only the most microscopic traces of shelf-wear to the extremities, retaining its original high-gloss finish.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first impression of the inaugural volume in the highly regarded Cambridge Economic History of the United States series.

While the book was widely distributed upon publication, academic monographs of this size and weight are frequently encountered with significant handling wear, heavy academic marginalia, or as battered ex-library discards.

Consequently, securing a copy in such impeccably clean, collector-grade condition on the open market is decidedly uncommon.

An authoritative and foundational survey, The Colonial Era spans the economic history of North America from pre-colonial indigenous economies through to the end of the eighteenth century. Drawing upon the expertise of leading economic historians, the volume meticulously analyses the complex interplay of European colonisation, African enslavement, and the development of early mercantile systems. By exploring the demographic shifts, labour dynamics, and profound economic transformations of the colonies, this text provides a vital framework for understanding the structural roots of the American economy.

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.
