By Gail Hamilton and Gail Hamilton

Book Overview

A rare doorway into nineteenth century america, opened anew. A Battle Of The Books offers a quiet, steadfast voice on writing that still speaks volumes today. This modern edition, published by Alpha Editions, reveals a timeless writing instruction treatise that blends author and publisher guidance with reproof and correction themes and instruction in righteousness. It functions as a historical religious manual and a comprehensive writing guidance tome, presented with a meta literary commentary that invites readers to imagine the ever-present dialogue between author, publisher, and audience. Its form rewards careful study: a complete collection reference for those who value public domain classics and the craft of writing with clarity, purpose, and moral intent. Historically, the work stands as a touchstone of nineteenth century america, offering insight into the era's editorial practices and devotional literacy. For casual readers, it is a brisk, enlightening read about the responsibilities and possibilities of authorship. For classic-literature collectors and annotated edition buyers, it is a treasure-restored for today's readers and for future generations, more than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Alpha Editions' restoration honours the original spirit while ensuring accessibility. This is not merely text restored; it is a doorway to a broader understanding of historical rhetoric, audience oriented writers, and enduring principles of writing with integrity.
