Small amount of chipping around the edges. Pages are clean and tight. Professional Journal in the Humanities.

A book about the early people in the area now known as Northern Arizona. New in cling wrap. As there is an editor, I am going to guess that this is a collection of archaeological papers from a variety of scholarly authors. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

First volume. Not sure how many others there may have been. Cover is maroon fabric covered boards, with a bit of wear-through at a couple of the corners and at the tail of the spine. Embossed title and author on the front cover with gilt print and decoration over the spine. Front and spine have a hand-inked one, indicating the volume. Contains over 1,500 photographs and 27 color plates. No date is provided within the book, but in perusing the text and photo captions, it appears that the latest information is from 1930, so I imagine publication followed shortly thereafter. A rare book. This book will ship at almost four pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.
