Guaranteed to Last is a fresh telling of the L.L.Bean story, the tale of how an unknown hunter created an American icon. The book celebrates 100 years of L.L.Bean's place in America culture - through both World Wars, the "back to the land" movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Official Preppy Handbook craze of the 1980s - and looks at the brand values that will guide in into the next century. L.L.Bean's most memorable events, products and people are explored through scores of remarkable photographs, illustrations, letters and much more. Available for just $19.12, in celebration of our founding year.

What a beautiful book
If you love LL Bean as much as I do and it's a part of your life for as long as it has been mine this book is an absolute must.
The binding is just like their bags with sewn and stitching and a little LL Bean tag.
LL Bean is not only a part of Americana it's a part of Maine's history and this book encapsulates that from 1912 through 2012 with wonderful stories, rich history and reproductions of old catalog art.
I enjoyed every minute of this book, it's a perfect coffee table book.
I want to thank you LL Bean for making this for us it's really a gift to customers.

Great Book Great Price
This book tells the L.L. Bean story so well with great detail. The price was a clever $19.12 as well (before tax) which I love.
