WESTERMARCK, EDWARD

The Future of Marriage in Western Civilization

NY, MacMillan. 1936, First Edition. Blue Boards Sewn Binding, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book, September 25, 2008 Review: "This book is timeless! When it was written by Dr.Westermarck he was way ahead of its time. The book itself is so well written, so well explained that it is unbelivable that 70 plus year later it still has validity. The book explains so much of the origins of marriage and human behavior that it is awesome. If you are into research of human behavior, monogamy, polygamy and human relations this book needs to be in your personal library." No marks, light tanning to page edges, gutters and end papers. Boards have light wear on edges with sunned spine and edges of boards. Title is hard to read on spine, has one inch chip on fold between spine toe and front board. Ships in sturdy cardboard for ultimate protection, no bubble mailers!. Good Plus/No Jacket.
