About This Item

Seattle: Frontier Publishing & Heritage House, 1961. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 1st printings. 4to cloth. Various paginations. Illustrated with photos. Lambert Florin of Portland, Oregon, was one of best and certainly the most comprehensive recorder of the old Western ghost towns. He traveled all over the West gathering their histories and taking their photographs. This set of six books, all published by Superior Press of Seattle, 1961 - 1968, and all in cloth first editions with dust jackets, represent the apex of his ghost town passion. They are all around 190pp each and illustrated with black and white photos by Florin, who was a very good photographer. Each copy at least very good with good or better dust jackets which in some cases have a rubbing or minor chip/wear. The list of titles: Western Ghost Towns (book 1); Ghost Town Album (book 2); Ghost Town Trails (book 3); Western Ghost Towns (book 4); Ghost Town Treasures (book 5); Ghost Town El Dorado (book 6).
