Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. This thick 558 pp. book has no copyright date, but is circa the 1890's. It was published by Union Publishing House. Comprising graphic descriptions by the author, it contains over 500 steel engraved illustrations throughout. The pages show slight yellowing, as is normal for books of that period, but they are NOT at all brittle, and are very handleable. The front & rear internal gutters are partly separated, but fully intact. Externally, there is slight corner bumping, but the book is in VERY GOOD condition for a 132 year old book. Lists to $75.00 for new reprints.
