About This Item
Cleveland: John P. Jewett & Co.. Poor with no dust jacket. 1854. First Edition. Original Cloth. Binding copy. Stiching is coming loose. Back cover is loose, but attached. Spine has been 3/4 eaten away. Surprisingly, the interior is in fine to very fine condition. The map has the slightest rolling on the right hand margin, where it meets the gutter, but is otherwise in "very fine" condition. The pages are unstained, unfoxed, and unmarked. A good candidate for a nice leather binding.; 5x7 1/2" .
