Near Fine with light toning and trivial foxing to extremities, modest wear to covers, and light foxing to textblock edges and first and last two leaves.

Alderman Sidney Story sponsored a bill passed in 1898 to confine "immoral activities" to 38-block area just north of the French Quarter, and Storyville became a notorious red-light district for the next twenty years. During that time, guidebooks such as these were often available in barbershops and saloons. The Blue Book, published most years between 1900 and 1915, was compiled by Billy Struve, a newspaper reporter with intimate knowledge of the city's underworld. It lists brothels and individual women by race (white, black, octoroon) and contains extensive advertising for accoutrements of sin like cigars and liquor.
