About This Item
U.S. Central Publishing Company, 1878. First Edition. Hardcover. Acceptable. Very old, very fragile and delicate directory published in conjunction with the Great Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. The condition is extremely rough. Red cloth boards are faded, dirty, stained, scuffed, worn through, and scratched. All corners of boards are worn through and top and bottom edges of spine are significantly frayed and worn through. Pages are delicate and yellowed. Binding is very loose. This directory is chock full of great old advertisement engravings. Between the listings for various businesses are important dates and events in U.S. history categorized by year and date beginning with the year 1702. Make no mistake, this book is in rough shape, as to be expected for a 150 year old book. Inside end paper has a faintly legible owners name and date of 1878. 516 pages.
