Proceeds of the sale will go to the Salt Creek Civil War Round Table for battlefield preservation. The price for each item will be noted separately below and includes postage.

Reflections on the Civil War by Bruce Catton, edited by John Leekley, copyright 1981 by Gerald Dickler as executor for the estate of Bruce Catton and John Leekley, Berkley Books edition published in 1982 by arrangement with Doubleday & Company, Inc., 246 pages including index. Paperback with solid binding. Text is clean. Not ex-library. Cover is green (unlike picture above). There are creases in the spine and at the corners of the cover. Spine is faded. Text is quite yellowed but readable. It would circulate in my library's consortium if it was the only copy in the system, but the owning library might place a damage sticker stating they were aware of the deplorable condition and patrons would not be fined as long as they didn't rip out pages or flat out steal the book.
This is not the quality of book that I want to sell, but it's not bad enough to put in the pulper bin (yet), so it's free to a good home for you Bruce Catton fans.
