Item description from seller

Scarce passenger and tourist guide to resort and vacation destinations serviced by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad - both its rail and steamer lines - including Lake George, Lake Champlain, the Adirondacks, Saratoga, Sharon Springs, Published in handbook format, measuring 4.25 x 7.25", with pictorial cover front and back, 316 pages, illustrated with maps in three color and photos in duotone. Includes local listings for transport, restaurants, hotels, spas, and sites for sport, fishing, boating etc. Covers worn, internals quite good. The book has been pierced in the upper right corner, apparently to be hung by chain in a train station for use by the traveling public. There are several variant titles of this work issued by D&H Railroad located in OCLC; for this specific title there is only one edition published in 1930, for which there are only 4 copies. We could find no copies of this 1906 edition, presumably the first or early edition of this tourist handbook. Owner name with Rensselaer NY address in juvenile hand on the free front endpaper.…

Store description

Johnnycake Books trades in rare and collectible books of most kinds, principally in fields of literature, illustrated, childrens, architecture/design, gardening and photography. We try to offer books that are a little unusual, offbeat and unexpected: most have a strong visual or design appeal. Our descriptions present our inventory as creatively and colorfully as possible, with occassional editorial commentary. We regard condition of our books as critical to our service: most are very good or better, in collectible condition. We are generally conservative in describing a book, even if that means it doesn't sound as good as it actually might be. We welcome your comments directly at johnnycake@snet.net or visit our website www.johnnycakebooks.com. Best wishes in your book collecting. Dan Dwyer…
