Description:
New York: The American Railway Association, 1916. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, maroon cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows soiling and spine is darkened, front board has large corner bump in the lower right and other corners are bumped as well. Spine has a wrinkle near the hinge for the front board. Interior binding of the text pages is good as is the rear hinge but hinge was cracked at the front board and at one point somebody tried to repair it (and did not do a good job). This is the reason for the low condition grade of fair. Pages are toned due to age and smudge marks and spotting is present. There are no signatures, no bookplates, no library markings, no handwriting found.. Map is present and attached.
