Gilt spine & front cover lettering in ruled edge tan covers in hand-made brown paper wrappers - which have kept this volume in near fine condition! 4to, 110 pages plus map of the island. Ex- library copy - This is Volume 32 of the West Bath (Maine) Library Association, with their label on the inside of the front cover. The unusual library label says: "N. B. This book must not be lent out of the subscribers family, and if injured, all damage must be paid to the librarian. No volume can be kept over four weeks ; two weeks additional time will be allowed by having it renewed. A fine of two cents per day will be charged for a book kept over this time. A violation of these rules will result in a loss of membership.". Other than brown paper wrapper residue on the inside of the covers and the library bookplate, this is truly a near fine copy.
