About This Item
Washington DC: GPO, 1915. Paperback. 125p., illustrated with plates and diagrams, softbound in 9x6 inch plain printed grey wraps. Excellent copy with one flaw (aesthetic as much as a problematic weakness), the front cover has pulled back about an eighth of an inch from textblock all along its length --the wraps now revealing spine's glued area in this gap-- and yes, weakened but without any immediate danger of further damage. Spine panel also has two dings. Textblock itself is quite sound, this a good copy verging on the very good. Dept Interior, Bureau of Mines, bulletin 80. Enormously detailed; in the calendar year preceding compilation, 130 miners were killed and 250 seriously injured, and here is one of the government's responses.
