Light soiling and chipping to wraps, foxing to first two leaves, else very good. An attractive promotional that works hard to demonstrate that "Vermont offers opportunity for almost every human endeavor" before providing the prospective settler with more than 50 pages of listings of farms for sale. The listings are divided by county, and each includes a paragraph of description noting selling points (modern barns and farm equipment, mountain views, orchards, timber, etc) and the address and asking price. $1,500 could buy you a 160-acre farm with a 12-room house, two barns, trout brooks, and maple, pear, plum, and apple trees.
