About This Item
Brooklyn: Rugby Press, 1921. Cloth. Very Good +. The uncommon 1921 Brooklyn Blue Book, including the Long Island society register. Clean and VG+ (minor, inconspicuous tear at the rear inner hinge) in its navy-blue cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the front panel and lovely gilt-bordered advertisement ("Cadillac: Standard of the World") adorning the rear panel. 12mo, wonderful local ads (several even with splashes of color) at the front and rear of the text. A nice piece of early 20th century New York history and --by extension-- a nice piece of Americana.
