Yeah, I'm not sure either if it's the size alone or there is some other issue involved.
Yes, hard to understand why this book is out-of-print while so many of William Manchester's other books have been converted to ebooks.
A difficult to find two volume set on American history. It's long been a favorite of mine. It covers a lot of topics that I haven't seen addressed many other places. I probably would have never heard of the Bonus Army if it hadn't been for this book. It's not relentlessness critical but it is frank and honest about America's history, good and bad.
I managed to track down a set of hardcovers for a reasonable price, but really this book needs to be digitized. It flows easily, but is awkward to lug around. It would be wonderful if it was freely available for teachers to pass out to students.
