1975 First Edition: The Many Voices of Boston Hardcover 1975年首版《波士頓的多重聲音》歷史選集精裝本

This is a true 1975 first edition of The Many Voices of Boston: A Historical Anthology 1630-1975, edited by the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Howard Mumford Jones and Bessie Zaban Jones, published by Little, Brown and Company.

This copy features a deeply personal and touching handwritten inscription dated June 5, 1977 on the vibrant red front endpaper. Written by "Gerhard" for his friend "Herald" on his 70th birthday, the message serves as a poetic reminder that Herald is "Boston born" and spent his formative first quarter-century under the city's unique influence. This beautiful association between the historical text and the owner's personal heritage makes this a wonderful piece of sentimental Americana.

 Overall Condition: Very Good.

 Book: Hardcover 1975 first edition with original dust jacket. The dust jacket shows very minor shelf wear and light rubbing around the corners. The binding is tight, and the interior pages are exceptionally clean, crisp, and unmarked.

 Inscription: The 1977 fountain pen inscription and signature by Gerhard remain perfectly bold, dark, and beautifully legible.

本品為 1975 年由 Little, Brown and Company 出版、普立茲獎得主霍華德·穆姆福德·瓊斯（Howard Mumford Jones）與貝絲·札班·瓊斯（Bessie Zaban Jones）聯手編纂的《波士頓的多重聲音：歷史選集 1630-1975》美國首版（First Edition）。

這本書特別珍貴之處在於其搶眼的紅色環襯頁上，留有一段 1977 年極具情感溫度的老手寫親筆題詞。這是友人 Gerhard 送給 Herald 的 70 歲大壽禮物，感性地提醒對方：「別忘了自己是在波士頓出生，且人生最初也最關鍵的 25 年形塑期都在波士頓度過。」這段私人題詞與書中收錄的波士頓百年歷史交相輝映，賦予了本書獨一無二的生命故事與收藏情懷.
