About This Item
Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle Co.: Publishers, 1966. First edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good/fair. Blue cloth hardcover with gilt lettering, first thus, in dustjacket. A very good copy of the book in silky dark blue cloth. Minimal wear to the board edges, and some small spots of disruption to the gilt. Small dark spot to the front cover near the front edge. Spotting and light soil to the top text-block edge. Inside is clean and unmarked in a solid binding. Map section intact and in very good condition as well. The dustjacket is the problem with the rear panel nearly detached and a tear across the center of the spine panel - a heavy and bright jacket but with significant damage, chips and tears. 332 pp., indexed, black and white photos, beautifully bound.
