which is a beautiful and unexpected addition
High quality book. Gold gilded page ends. Preamble to the Constitution is imprinted (subtly) on the cover, which is a beautiful and unexpected addition. Cover is actually very dark navy blue, not purplish as appears on the picture shown. Took a while to arrive, but well worth the wait. Contains (among many others) Common Sense (Thomas Paine), The Federalist Papers (Hamilton, Madison, Jay) and multiple Presidential Addresses. I highly recommend this book as an addition to your home library.

Essential reading
The reason for 4 stars is because the first copy I received was no doubt repackaged into new plastic and the book itself had a smell to it. No doubt it had already been used but thankfully Amazon took care of it and I was sent a brand new one. It is great to have the constitution ready at hand and it’s essential knowledge

The perfect gift
This book is perfect, almost like new. It was a gift for my mother's birthday and she was really glad.
