You are considering a hardback book, with DJ:

COOK & PEARY: THE POLAR CONTROVERSY, RESOLVED by Robert M. Bryce; PUBLISHER: Stackpole Books; 1997, first printing, 1133 Pages.

Within days of each other, in September 1909, two Americans emerged from the Arctic's frozen wastes, each saying he had captured the long sought prize for which explorers had suffered and even died: the North Pole.

Frederick A. Cook's claim had priority--he said he had been at the Pole in April 1908 and had been forced by drifting ice and bad weather to winter in the Arctic another season. But his veractiy was immediately challenged by rival explorer Robert E. Peary and his well-heeled, well-connected backers.

SHIPPING TIME
I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.

S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!
International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
