Caribbean James A. Michener 1989 Hardcover First Edition
$22.00
Caribbean by James A. Michener, an epic historical novel that spans centuries of Caribbean history. From tribal conflicts on Dominica to the arrival of Columbus, from the rise of piracy to the slave revolts, from sugar plantations to modern-day island life—Michener weaves together the interconnected stories, struggles, and transformations that shaped the Caribbean region.
This is Michener at his most ambitious: sweeping historical scope, vivid characterization, and the kind of meticulous research that brings entire worlds to life on the page. For readers who loved The Source, Hawaii, or Poland, or anyone drawn to historical epics that span continents and centuries, this hardcover is a substantial and rewarding read.

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
-
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
