About This Item
isaac andrews , 1859 North Conway, NH & Boston: Isaac N. Andrews, (preface dated "October 20th, 1859.") [copyright/publishing date: 1859.] 403 Pages clean & unmarked. Original Green (Originally offered in Green and Rust) cloth binding with only mild wear. A very handsome and well-preserved example of this elusive First Edition, First printing showing North Conway in the TP publishing legend. A Cornerstone of ANY White Mountains Book Collection and listed in Bent's in Classics, page 2. Bent stated (in 1911) "Although written more than 50 years ago this is still the best book about the White Mountains". Thomas Starr King's portrait consequently adorns Bent's Guide as Frontispiece. This example is in the best condition I have seen in my 30+ years of collecting and selling rare White Mountains books and maps, currently in my personal collection for posterity and protection. NOTE: If you do not already have a copy of Bent's Bibliography of the White Mountains I will include one with this order at no additional charge, just let me know.
