Description: Here we have a lot of two brand new, author-signed, books by Wangari Maathai, the first African woman--and the first environmentalist--to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Includes The Challenge for Africa (cloth with dust jacket, stated first edition, signed on title page) and Unbowed: A Memoir (trade paper, signed on title page.) Also includes the program for Maathai's public appearance presented by the McCormick Freedom Museum (Chicago, IL.) We have lots of interesting books and historical ephemera in our store, to which we add new inventory daily, and we're always happy to combine shipping at actual cost. Condition: Our photographs reveal the condition best -- please enlarge and zoom in on them, and examine them carefully. Both are new, unread, signed copies, with un-cracked spines. Very clean and fresh, with absolutely no funky odors, having been kept in a bookcase behind glass by a fastidious collector. Shipping: USPS rates have changed, and media mail isn't always the cheapest option -- often times, priority is cheaper than media mail due to eBay's negotiated rates, so please read on -- We do our best to provide the lowest shipping rates by giving you as many choices as possible. You can find all of the rates available to you by scrolling to the Shipping section below (if on the app/a cell phone) or by clicking on the "SEE DETAILS" link to the right of the "Shipping" amount noted next to the photos (if on the browser/computer version.) These are the only ways to view all of your shipping options (including their costs and arrival dates.) We consider funky odors (cigarette smoke, mildew, etc) to be an important part of a condition report. Corndogcache is a 100% non-smoking environment, and we'll let you know if any of our vintage items smell like it (or anything else) from activities they may have been involved in before they came to us. The Fine Print:We expect payment within 1 day of purchase. If you're waiting for other auctions to end so that you can combine shipping, shoot us a message to let us know.If you're unable to pay within terms, please reach out with your Plan B. Things happen. Especially these days. So just shoot us a message.We don't accept buyer-remorse returns but we will grant you the use of our description and photos so that you can re-ebay the item yourself.Although we don't accept buyer-remorse returns, reach out if you're unhappy with your purchase! If we messed up -- everybody does -- give us a chance to fix it. We promise it was unintentional, and we'll do what we can to make it right.
