Synopsis"Michener is America's best writer, and he proves it once again in CENTENNIAL." THE PITTSBURGH PRESS A stunning panorama of the West, CENTENNIAL is an enthralling celebration of our country, brimming with the glory and the greatness of the American past that only bestselling author James Michener could bring to stunning life.

Good story of the Colorado area of the US.

Disappointing purchase.
As i recall, this hard cover book, Centennial, by James Michener was described as new. Perhaps it had never been read. The dust cover was a bit worn. But the pages in the book, though clean, were different lengths and widths. and the the edges were rough and a bit soiled. Perhaps the book was a discard due to the varied length and width of the pages. The top of the page edges were dyed green while the bottom edges were manila. I bought Centennial by James Michener to read and to stand with my other Michener hardback books. Cosmetically, it was a disappointing purchase. I paid a higher price for it because it was "new." Apparently it was a discard because of the flaws in its production.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Centennial: The Pentultimate Western Miniseries
James Michener is a master storyteller, and if you've been lucky enough to see the 1978 miniseries, the characters leap from the pages into your mind. This helps to make the entire literary experience much more enjoyable and unforgettable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Enlightening on many fronts.
