"Together, these essays document the changes and development of intellectual styles and values between the period when they were written for such magazines as New Leader and Partisan Review and the present . . . The Price of the Ticket collects much of the best work of one of our finest living writers."Sam Cornish, The Christian Science Monitor "James Baldwin's essays on race in America are enlightening, entertaining and, because of his remarkable prescience, a bit eerie . . . In these 51 pieces all of which appeared in magazines or previous collections, Mr. Baldwin covers a diverse range of subjects. But a theme runs through them allmany of our national ills stem from a retreat from self-knowledge. This country's mistreatment of blacks is the best symbol of the discordance between the American myth and reality, Mr. Baldwin contends."Salim Muwakkil, The New York Times Book Review "James Baldwin became a national figure and remained one until his death, two years before which his collected nonfiction, The Price of the Ticket , came out. Anyone wishing to take Baldwin's measure as a man and writer while, incidentally, getting a vivid picture of Harlem during World War II, must begin with this book."William Corbett, author of New York Literary Lights, "Together, these essays document the changes and development of intellectual styles and values between the period when they were written for such magazines as New Leader and Partisan Review and the present . . .

Pretty good. Some scratches, One bookmark fell out immediately, but they're old books so that was to be expected. Definitely worth the price.
