About This Item
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1921. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding/Very Good dust jacket. Octavo. [2], 320 pp., frontis, plates. First edition. In publisher's cloth with dust jacket; all plates are present as called for. An exceptionally bright, fresh copy in a dust jacket with minor wear to the spine ends and edges; though there is some early tape reinforcement to the the verso at the spine ends, folds, and edges, the jacket presents remarkably well because none of this reinforcement is visible from the front. Clark calls this "a handbook for the traveling public written by a professional" Clark, Travels in the New South II, 66. Scarce in the dust jacket.
