Flesh and Blood : A History of My Family in Seven Maladies
3188pp plus central section of plate illustrations. Black cloth boards (tiny indentation on lower edge), with silver gilt titles to spine. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (gently shelf worn on edges). A living drama extracted like buried treasure from old documents and the hand-me-down stories of relatives. Reads like fiction but reflects McGann's academic interest in the social history side of genealogy.
