Both feature maroon cloth hardcover boards under jackets and each are near fine with barely a hint of shelf wear. Hardcover boards feature gold design and lettering front and spine. The dust jackets are still clean and shiny with only light shelf wear. Both are medium octavo book size or 6.5" x 9.5" with illustrated endpapers front and back.

Author James MacGregor Burns is both a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner. This is his monumental two volume history of The United States. The first volume, The Vineyard of Liberty, takes readers from the framing of the Constitution in the 1780's to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Lincoln in 1863. Volume Two, The Workshop of Democracy, carries readers through the turbulent seven decades from the Emancipation Proclamation through World War One to the Great Depression. From Founding Fathers to the heyday of American business, the volumes are an engrossing and detailed narrative of American history.
