About this Item
Second Edition. 'This edition offers for new chapters, covering the last three decisive decades of Norfolk's history and placing the emphasis on the twentieth century.' This book is signed not by the author but by the mayor of Norfolk, Virginia in 1962. His name was Roy Butler Martin, Jr. He served from 1962 to 1974. His signature is on a very handsome plate affixed to the first front end paper (see photo). The plate states 'Presented To Dr. Donald H. Webster by the City of Norfolk with sincere respect and esteem Roy Butler Martin, Jr.' This book is an excellent condition. As you can see from the photos, the covers are quite clean (there are a few spots of darker blue, see 4th photo). They have very little wear, one tiny dent on both the top edge and bottom edge of the rear cover. The book is square, not slanted, and very solidly bound from cover to cover, no binding issues. The pages are very clean. In scrolling through, I didn't see any soiling. I didn't see any creases or dogeared corners. There are no markings. The only attachment is the aforementioned signed plate. This book is NOT ex-library. And with the exception of the signed plate, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There are 20 pages of illustrations. They appear to be all in perfect condition. The dust jacket can be seen in the first few photographs. It is very clean. It does have small tears at both spine ends, and small loss at the top one. There are three or four other tiny tears on the jacket's edges. The jacket is Not clipped. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Seller Inventory # 002239
