Description
A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR by Daniel Defoe (Easton Press, New / Sealed). In 1665 the plague swept through London, claiming over 97,000 lives. Daniel Defoe was just five at the time of the plague, but he later called on his own memories, as well as his writing experience, to create this vivid chronicle of the epidemic and its victims. A Journal (1722) follows Defoe's fictional narrator as he traces the devastating progress of the plague through the streets of London. Here we see a city transformed: some of its streets suspiciously empty, some—with crosses on their doors—overwhelmingly full of the sounds and smells of human suffering. And every living citizen he meets has a horrifying story that demands to be heard.

What an amazing transaction! My brand new, leather bound Easton Press book still in shrink wrap arrived in outstanding condition!! It was wrapped in bubble wrap and surrounded by tissue paper. The shipping speed was super fast as the seller sent it by Priority Mail. Fantastic! Item was totally as described as on website. I communicated with seller and requested extra packaging inside box due to very cold weather conditions in MI. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and this seller!!! Thanks!!

The seller WGMartin Book Gallery offered me a wonderful copy of the Easton Press Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson, a book I had been hoping to add to my library for quite more than a fortnight, for a fair amount that caught my attention, and they then proceeded to follow through with ensuring the transaction went smoothly by packaging the book properly for transit across the country, shipped it out expediently and provided it to me in the condition it was listed in and as described! A+

I am so excited to receive these beautiful books. They were packaged well, and I received them quickly. The books were just as described, new and sealed. They will make a beautiful addition to a church library. Very pleased.
