Item description from seller

Surprisingly rare in complete book form. The earliest of Appletons' Guidebooks to the entire United States. 12mo. 16.5 by 11.5 cm. 304, 140, [6] pp. With a second title, where the pagination re-starts, devoted to the Southern and Western States. Nine of the maps are fold-outs, and many others, double paged. Many text illustrations of both urban and rural sites. With riverboat and train routes and maps as well. Rebacked, with most of the original pictorial spine preserved, and the red cloth used for rebacking a reasonably close match. One folding map neatly torn by tab, and typical tears by folds of the thin, delicate maps. Age toning as to be expected. Otherwise, generally clean, complete.
