Papers of John Adams by John Adams, Sara Georgini, Sara Martin, R.M. Barlow, Gwen Fries, Hobson Woodward, Amanda Mathews Norton, Miriam Liebman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This volume chronicles the first year of Adams's presidency, as he sought to protect America's commercial interests while preparing the country for potential war with France; faced the resurgence of yellow fever and questions about his abilities to lead the nation; and addressed competing powers on the western front. Publisher Description Entering the presidency in full service to the American people, John Adams vowed: "Their Confidence, which has been the Chief Consolation of my Life, is too prescious and Sacred a deposit ever to be considered lightly." This volume of the Papers of John Adams charts the period from February 1797 to February 1798, exploring the United States' diplomatic rupture with France and the Adams administration's pivot toward the Quasi-War. Adams spent his first year in office struggling to uphold a form of neutrality that would shield American shipping and commerce from France's mounting attacks. The US government labored to shift money and resources for military preparedness. "I should hold myself guilty of a neglect of Duty, if I forebore to recommend that We Should make every exertion to protect our Commerce, and to place our Country in a Suitable posture of defence," he wrote. Adams kept careful watch over imperial tensions on the western frontiers, where Spain, France, Great Britain, Native nations, and the United States wrestled for local control. The second president faced a resurgence of yellow fever in Philadelphia, public debates in the press about his abilities, and an ambitious cabinet. From the opening moments of his inauguration to his headlong rush to heal the United States' relations with France, this volume reveals how John Adams evolved the American presidency.

Great Historic Reproduction of African-American early comics and was just as described and in great shape – packaged relatively well, although treated more like a paperback novel than a historic graphic novel during the shipping process. The great thing is my first order never arrived, and I reached out to the seller who offered me a refund or to reship the book. I obviously opted for the reship!! Great seller and great communication, I would certainly purchase from this seller again. A+++
Like new condition, safe packaging, good communication from seller. Fair price for the quality. Shipping was on time, but tracking information took over a week to receive. The book was as-described with minor cosmetic flaws (indentations in some pages, for example). I wish the listings showed the actual item being sold to you instead of just an accurate stock photo. This edition and appearance of George Orwell's 1984 here is a nice pocket-sized hardcover. I would buy from this shop again.
The two new out-of-print books I ordered were exactly as described and shipped promptly. I did ask the seller's support person (an AI chatbot, I think) to be sure to package the items carefully, and "he" said that he'd make that request of the shipping department. I knew this was hooey, and as I expected, the books were shipped in nothing but a padded paper mailer, no other protection. I got lucky, no damage, but don't bother making special requests of this seller.
