Bicentennial Illustrated History of the United States, 2vol. Ed. 1975

"200 Years: A Bicentennial Illustrated History of the United States", two-volume coffee-table sized work in a slipcase, published by U.S. News and World Reports, 1975.

Slipcase, hard boards, red cloth covers with faux-leather spines [some wear including gilt of the lettering on spines], large format: 9.1/4" x 11.1/2"; illustrated endpapers, 351 + 356 pages including Indexes in each volume; printed on high quality glossy paper, fully illustrated, very good condition.

"A great deal in these pages, not only of events, but of the vast social and technological changes that occurred over those two centuries in America. The centuries of European exploration and settlement before the Revolutionary War are omitted since the volumes cover only 1776-1976--or really 1973...

Its strength lies in the many hundreds of period drawings, paintings, and photos that evoke the personalities and events of those years. I as well enjoyed idly paging through it...There are sometimes 3 or more illustrations on a page, each accompanied by an explanation. ...Kids need to know that the Mayflower Compact is not a small car."
