Oh, so boring... (Not)- SOLD

SOLD!
The World's Great Events (1948)- 10 volumes  

Books titled The World's Great Events  may sound  boring, but written is this form they surely are not.  These are not history books per se, but  a gathering of  descriptions, some told by scholars, but many  written by people who were really there. Covering the earliest of times, up to the end of WWII,  these writings are easy to read. As the preface reads, "This latest edition goes to press during a period when the future of the world is more doubtful than ever.  Perhaps from these records of yesterday we may glean a better understanding of tomorrow."  Unfortunately little has changed since then. So read these writings and ponder.

The books themselves are in wonderful condition- the bindings look new!  Buy them for only $25.  (They can be found under the card table.)
