About This Item
Harrisburg, PA: Harrisburg Publishing Co., State Printer, 1909. Hardcover. Binding Copy. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, black cloth boards with gilt text on spine. Exterior shows some scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. Cloth on spine is wrinkled the boards have some dents present. The interior binding has some issues but appears complete. There is a thin hinge crack starting at the title page, a large tipped-in map at page 150 is present but detached, and the hinge at the rear board where the map pocket is is wide open. All of the foldout maps, including a very large one in the rear pocket, appear to be present.. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no handwriting noted. PLEASE NOTE: there is a more serious issue with this book. Although the book appears complete some of the page sections are in the wrong spots. For example: the page following 134 is 143-150 and then page 135 starts. At page 142 the next page is 159 two 166. This binding flaw appears to straighten itself out starting at page 167. This is a good copy for use of the maps, including the large one in the rear pocket, or for reference purposes.

Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
