About This Item
Ringos, NJ: C.W. Larison, 1883. Cloth. Very Good +. A tight, very presentable copy of the 1883 1st edition. Solid and VG to VG+ in its chocolate-brown cloth, with decorative blindstamping to the panels and gilt-titling along the spine. Light rubbing and wear at the spine and along the panel edges. Internally, clean as could be, with no writing or markings of any kind. Engraved plates and maps throughout complementing Larison's very unusual text. A nice example of 19th century New Jersey geography -- and a nice piece of Americana.
