Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. Stapled wraps; tan embossed with green titles and decoration; [16] pp. With 13 illustrations from photographs (10 are full-page, 1 is a double-page panorama). 12x18 cm (4.75 by 7 inches). Wraps slightly larger than pages.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal handling; Hint of even age-toning.. Scarce promotional view book showcasing the esteemed hotel nestled in the heart of DeLand, Florida, strategically positioned between the vibrant cities of Orlando and Daytona Beach.
Originally erected in 1885 and gracefully standing until the 1940s, this iconic establishment, once graced by the visionary John B. Stetson, renowned for his legendary hat designs, underwent a transformation under his stewardship. Renamed as the Hotel College Arms in 1896, Stetson meticulously enhanced the property, culminating in the addition of a 18-hole championship golf course, honored as one of the nation's finest.
Within the pages of this rare view book lie treasures-a visual odyssey capturing the essence of the remarkable golf course and the spirited game itself. Adorned with six captivating photographs, including a breathtaking double-page panorama featuring the inaugural green, where the clubhouse and hotel stand as timeless sentinels in the backdrop.
This collectible gem, treasured for its historical significance, is a rare find, with only one copy identified by OCLC, residing at the University of South Florida.

Interior has ownership inscription on front blank with date of 1827, old prior seller's price on blank. No other writing or markings. Spine reinforced with paper in distant past. Paginates: wraps, blanks, 48. Illustrations included in pagination. Complete as issued. This edition is uncommon. WorldCat locates ~15 copies. See OCLC: 34635134 & 22449258; Rosenbach 681. Harlan Page is the engraver, author is unknown. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: identification of edition priority is a challenge. The undated New-York Religious Tract Society is generally considered the true first. The sources on this make conclusory statements and there is reason to doubt them. I put together a summary of my research for those who are interested.[Indigenous, South Pacific, theology]

London: Bemrose & Sons , 1881. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket (as published). 5.5" X 8.5. 39pp., A classic study on the origins of place names in the English county of Derbyshire. This copy has had a tough life, the spine strip is missing and both hinges are weak. The pages themselves are all soundly bound. The book includes some related ephemera, including a letter and several newspaper cuttings, mainly from the 1920s. (Includes the author's obituary). Some cuttings are stuck to the pages, but all text is still quite readable. There is the signature of a previous owner (William S Longbottom) at the top of the title page. William Longbottom was better known by his pen name of Horace Weir, the author of many works on the history of Derbyshire. Please note that this is a 19th century produced copy and not a modern reproduction. All orders processed and shipped promptly from the UK, usually within 24 hours.
