Item description from seller

Boards of both volumes resist opening past 50 degrees -- as-new unread. Jackets are both near-fine, the jacket of Volume 1 showing some minor fraying to top of spine. In both volumes "First Edition" stated. Note 1968 date: "Platt National Park" In Oklahoma still listed, though it was merged into the "Chickasaw National Recreation Area" in 1976. Lassen Peak -- shown erupting 1915 -- is described as the "only active volcano in the contiguous United States." (Mt. St. Helens expressed her difference of opinion in May, 1980.) And the volume on the "Eastern" parks remains the slimmer of the two, despite the somewhat capricious decision to place Carlsbad Caverns (New Mexico) The Big Bend (Texas) and Wind Cave (South Dakota) in the "East." 480 and 287 pp., respectively. The pair now reduced from $57.
