Description

For the Record features over 250 primary source selections, both textual and visual, drawn from a broad range of government documents, newspapers, speeches, letters, and novels. In the Eighth Edition, timely new selections on the Latino/a experience in American history expands the already inclusive collection of documents (covering gender, African American, Native American, immigration, and LGBTQ history) and allows students to better understand the issues of today. For the first time, For the Record is available as an ebook, making it an even more incredible value both as a stand-alone text and as the perfect companion reader for the America family of textbooks by coeditor David E. Shi.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
