Item description from seller

(maroon cloth; no dust jacket, as issued) [moderately worn volume, a bit of fraying at bottom front corner, several whiteish scrape marks on front cover, light bumping at all corners, tiny tear in cloth at top of spine, front hinge a little weak but binding solid, internally quite clean]. (B&W halftone photographs), engravings) A full accounting of the various events held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Springfield's establishment, which as the title indicates spread out over a full week, with each day having its theme (and hence its own dedicated section of the book). Following an introductory chapter on the founding of Springfield and a rundown of the Centennial program, these sections are: Religious Day; Formal Opening Day; Pioneer Day; Military Day; Fraternal Day; Agricultural and Labor Day; and Woman's Day and Educational Interests. The capper is a short chapter detailing the preparation of "The Log Cabin," a local attraction that was prepared for visitors by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The volume includes the texts of various speeches and addresses given as part of the festivities. Some of the most interesting material appears in the Woman's Day section, which includes the following reports: "The Work of the Women of Springfield in the Civil War"; "Woman's Work for Love"; "History of the Women's Clubs of Springfield"; and "Temperance in Springfield." (There is absolutely nothing in this book -- repeat, nothing -- about the eating of the dogs and the cats and the pets of the people who live there.).

Store description

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
