very rare! NO OTHER COPIES ONLINE
Although this book was adapted for children. I did find the "n" word in it, as it is in ALL Uncle Tom's books
[so,
for the person that reported this item
- you will upsetting a lot of ebayers if you start banning classic books; I do not use that word, nor do I promote the use of that word or anything hateful, harmful, or bigotry, I was just giving buyers the heads up of the word as I would edit it if I was reading it to a child! This book was originally written 168 years ago when that word was used, we can not go back in time and change history, we can only learn from past mistakes and strive to do better!

Uncle Tom's Cabin, is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Originally published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War".
The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War,
Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."
Condition:
Please
zoom in on
photos carefully
as they are part of the description. I am human and sometimes miss a thing or 2, but I
try to mention the book's main faults
. all of my books are VERY OLD and have 100+ years of wear to varying degrees
very good condition.... for its age:
boards -
very secure, some typical wear, front bottom tip is a bit bent
back cover
- some, what I would call light, scratches-no bad stains though
textblock
- pages very secure
outer joints
- good
spine ends
- both are worn [took a picture of the top end, but the bottom looks about the same]
tips
- worn /rounded, esp. the back bottom
inner hinges
- good
pages
- generally very clean for a kids book, a few small spots and some staining from age
writing/coloring
- none
rips /folds
- last page has the wee tip top corner missing- this is apx half an inch by 1.5"// a few other small rips, some have been repaired with doc. tape, some light folding throughout.
Not too bad though for a 111 year old kid's book
