About This Item
New York: Funk & Wagnals, 1956. 9th Printing. Fine in decorated light blue cloth covered boards. In a very good+ dust jacket with the price intact on the front flap and with minor wear and rubbing at the upper edge of the spine area and at the fore corners of the front panel. This is Eric Sloane's tribute to America's "attic of vanishing ways and obslete occupations." The very quintessence of Sloane with wonderfully detailed sketches of early American ways.
