About This Item
West Gardner, Mass: Record Office, 1882. First Edition. Sewn binding. Fine. 16mo, 18pp. A crisp, clean copy, about fine, in the publisher's pale blue-green wrappers. Text bordered in red ruled border. A rare little volume containing one long firefighting-themed poem, with many local references rather obscure to this cataloger. While an earlier bookseller's description notes a single OCLC holding at a library in Germany, we could not find that or any other holdings in worldwide libraries. A nice New England imprint on an interesting subject matter.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
