Description
About the Book
Without Sin chronicles the rise and fall of nineteenth-century America’s most successful experiment in Utopian living: New York’s Oneida Community (1848-1880). Founded by the charismatic Christian Perfectionist John Humphrey Noyes, this society flourished for more than thirty years as a unique world where property was shared, men and women were equals, sex was free and open, work was to be joyous, and pleasure was felt to be “the very business that God set Adam and Eve about.”

Condition
Use the zoom feature for a better look. The covers show lighter handling/storage. The spine has not been creased. The pages are in very good condition. No names or markings noted. Smells lightly of smoke. Should air out in my smoke-free home — or yours.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a two-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
