$29.53
1991 Hardcover Crescent Books edition of The Shakers by L Edward Purcell 129 pages with photographs and illustrations. From the dust jacket: The Shakers were a fascinating but peculiar religious sect, believing in separation from the world, celibacy, and the perfection of life on earth. Established in America 200 years ago by Mother Ann Lees, the Shaker religion attracted thousands of converts during the 19th century, and Shaker "families" built large village settlements in New England, Ohio, and Kentucky. Most of the Shaker villages died out early in the 1900s. The more than 120 pages of full-color photographs in The Shakers illuminate the Shaker way of life and beautifully illustrate their skills in woodworking, architecture, and a wide range of 20th century talents. (10.75" x 8.75")
Hardcover book in very good condition. All pages are intact. Spine tight. No writing. Dustjacket shows some wear. See the photo actual book. Any questions, please feel free to contact us. (hd)

Frequently Asked Questions
When I order a magazine are you sending me just the cover?
While we are aware that some sellers sell only the covers (for framing), we sell you the entire magazine.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do. It depends the country's restrictions and the shipping availability to that county. Due to the current pandemic we are limiting our international shipping.
Where did you get your name?
On some mornings, if you get up early enough, from an open field you can see the fog listing up towards the local mountains. Just as the sun starts to creep in, the fog gives off this bluish purplish haze.
Are you open 24/7?
We are e-commerce only so we are open 24 hours 7 days a week. However, we only staff humans and they work a normal business day.
How do you select your month charity?
We try to select a local nonprofit that we feels helps others and gives back to our community. Or ones that do not get the donations that other big nonprofits receive.
Gift wrapping and packaging
While we do not gift-wrap an item, if you advise us it is a gift, we package the item as we normally do and then place it in a decorative polymailer. We also add your note to an all-occasion card and insert it. We do this free-of-charge.
Are you an American Company?
We are an American women-owned company located in the lovely Hudson Valley area of New York State. All shipments are from New York State.
Do you offer a discount?
We do offer a 10% discount. If your purchase does not include one of our discount codes, please contact us prior to paying and we will send you the code. The code cannot be used after you paid. Also every month we put a different book genre on sale.
Do you offer a guaranteed delivery date?
No, we do not. We can give you an estimated date. We ship via the US Postal System. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over your order once it leaves out hands. All orders include tracking. If your order takes longer than normal for delivery, we will investigate it.
I purchased "X" magazine subscription. How come I didn't get it?
Because you didn't order it from us. You need to contact the publishing company. If you need help locating them, we will try to help. We only sell single issue magazines.
