Lakeside Press: Portland ME, 1892. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket As Issued.
Pictorial wrappers with engraving of the hotel on front, stitched. [8] pp. Illustrated. 8.4 by 13.4 cm (3.25 by 5.25 inches), Illustrated with drawings; No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling and light even age-toning.
Includes an advertisement with a drawing for the Watch Hill House in Rhode Island and for the Clyde Steamship Company on the rear cover and a historical overview of Sanford. A delightful and uncommon pamphlet highlights the Sanford House Hotel, meticulously constructed by Henry Sanford in 1876.
Designed to allure tourists and accommodate aspiring affluent residents in the burgeoning city of Sanford, this establishment stood proudly at the nexus of Commercial Street and Palmetto Avenue, offering a picturesque waterfront view. The hotel, spanning three stories, with two adorned with charming porches, boasted ample accommodations to cater to the needs of up to 150 guests.
The hotel's landscaping included flower beds and citrus trees. A boardwalk led visitors straight from the hotel to the shores of Lake Monroe. At the turn of the century, the Sanford House Hotel was the center of all major city events and celebrations.
While guidebooks from the period often included positive references to the hotel, it failed to attract many visitors. The Sanford House Hotel was torn down in May of 1920.

Description:
New York: Dell Publishing, 1931-1932. First edition. The first 12 issues of this hugely popular depression-era humor magazine known for its parodies of advertising and publishing. An early precursor to Mad Magazine, it was "stuffed with parodies of national advertisements and consumer magazines and sprinkled liberally with topical and risque cartoons and gags." In the first issue alone the magazine uses cartoons to tackle topics such as prohibition, economic conditions, homelessness, and organized crime. (Joseph P. Bernt in THE ADVERTISING AGE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ADVERTISING, Egolf and McDonough, editors.) The 15-cent, initially ad-free magazine spawned all manner of products -- from scarves and neckties to a Manhattan nightclub. There was even a Broadway production called "Ballyhoo" starring Bob Hope bankrolled by its editor, Norman Hume Anthony [1889 - 1968], the cartoonist, illustrator, one-time editor of Judge and Life Magazines, and author, as "Judge Jr.," of a series of books on cocktails.

1854 HUGE MAP Colton's Western Tourist Emigrant's Guide Americana CaliforniaJ.H. Colton founded an American mapmaking company in the early 1830s which became an international leader in the map publishing industry until 1890. Colton created railroad maps, immigrant guides, elaborate atlases, and more all printed using engraved steel plates, which produced higher quality prints than maps made with less costly wax engravings, which were often separately hand water colored. and were recognized for their decorative borders.
J.H. Colton's 'Western Tourist and Emigrant's Guide'is an important 19th-century geographical book with an enormous folding map of the American 'west' including Ohio, Missouri, Indiana and Wisconsin. According to Howes, this work includes descriptions and material on California, Oregon, and Texas, with overland routes and westward expansion.

Some cuttings are stuck to the pages, but all text is still quite readable. There is the signature of a previous owner (William S Longbottom) at the top of the title page. William Longbottom was better known by his pen name of Horace Weir, the author of many works on the history of Derbyshire.
