On the copyright page, the book price ($30.00) is listed, also “First Edition” and the number line is “23456789” which does not mean second printing with Random House as long as the term First Edition is present which then means First Edition, First Printing. If the term First Edition was not present, then that number line indicates a second printing. Random House never used the number 1 to indicate a first printing or first edition. Interestingly, as noted the publication price is listed on the copyright page but not on the dust jacket, but this is NOT a Book Club Edition. xiv, [2], 811, [4] p.: 12 illustrations, including 8 from the Bettmann Archive and 1 from the National Portrait Gallery, London; 24 cm.

Boorstin “puts flesh on the great figures who have created our cultural heritage, from the pyramid builders to Picasso, enriching our world with architecture, painting, sculpture, music, drama, dance, and literature. This is a surprising story from the very beginning. The ancient Hindus and the Buddhists were untroubled by the mystery of Creation. So, too, the Chinese saw history as a series of cycles without beginning or end. And Islam found the very notion of Creation unappealing. But our Judeo-Christian tradition – Moses and Saint Augustine among others – gave us a prophetic vision of Man the Creator in the image of a Creator-God” [from the dust jacket] ISBN: 0394543955 Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked Dust Jacket is in Very Good Plus Condition: both sections lightly rubbed; first section with tiny indentation near to spine and very light vertical crease.
