As is, perfectly legible. Author Wilson explains that in the US .."Until about 1882.. there was no single irrigation work designed on sound engineering principles" but all were "hastily constructed" under pressure for money, especially in Colorado and California. -- From first page: "This advance copy is subject to revision. It is sent to you personally for discussion only and with the express understanding that it is not to be published or furnished for publication in advance of its regular issue in…

Description:
Washington DC: GPO / U.S. Department of the Interior, 1926. Pamphlet. ii, 50p., illustrated in b&w photography fuzzily reproduced, generally a photo on every page starting from p.10. Softbound, 9x6 inch pamphlet staple-fastened. A GPO item with both covers printed in colors, rather unusual, perhaps a boost for this little-known Exposition. Item has suffered damp-damage, to covers, not to text pages, staining not particularly severe however obvious. The staples, exposed where these protrude at the centerfold map, are slightly rusted with negligible migration. In sum, a fair to "good-only" copy. Captions demonstrate that the sole concern here is for western states, Montana to California, southwestern from New Mexico.
