Garden City: Doubleday, 1976. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. Very good with neat owner's gift inscription penned on front fly, spotting on top page edges, some pages neatly dog-eared, spine ends lightly bumped in a very good lightly tanned dustwrapper with spine ends chipped. A groundbreaking book which pioneered mainstream interest in African-American antecedents and culture. The landmark television dramatization was watched by over 100 million people and remains a highpoint in the medium's history. *Roots* was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize in 1977 and it remains a key testament to the scope of the African-American experience.
