Description:
Washington (D.C.): Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey., 1909. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 22.5 Cms x 29 Cms. 183 pp., num.black & white photoplates & maps ex-pagination+1 unf.col.geological map. Internally clean, tight & unmarked but a few nicks to outer edges from fr. endpaper through to leaf 7/8 (will repair these with archival mending tissue on order) and a few bottom outer corners curled/dogged; ex-Royal Colonial Institute with their very faint oval stamp, dated 1910, top t.p. and even more faintly top fr. cover, which also has an ink lib.number at top, no other library markings. Covers, printed grey issue wrappers, are clean but sp.very worn exposing gatherings at top & bottom, outer edge fr. cover nicked, and creased across bottom corner, back cover similar, but less severe. (Again, will try to repair on order.) Apparently scarce and surely of interest for anyone researching impact of global warming on Alaska.
