About This Item
Columbus, Ohio: John Kilbourn, 1829. Ninth edition. Hardcover. Good-. 12mo, 280pp. Lacks the all-important map. The first gathering of leaves was inatrfully folded by the chap who trimmed the pages, and thus there is some text trimmed off of the title page and a few other leaves, really som evidence of the get-by-with-what-you-can attitude of the era in central Ohio during the 1820s. An entirely unsophisticated copy bound in the original stiff wraps, with some loss to the base of the spine and the corners a bit curled. Contents mostly clean and bright, but for a little scattered foxing; overall, considering the missing map, just a good copy at best. Uncommon and very important early guide to the rapidly-growing state, with detailed descriptions of almost every settlement or geographical feature in the state of any consequence. Howes K-129; Thomson 672; Sabin 37730.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
