About This Item
Number 1 in the publisher's WYOMING series, in blue/gray cloth with an upper panel decoration stamped in red, black, and gold, octavo, pp. 371. A separate illustration on spine is faded and somewhat darkened. Attractive color-illustrated endpapers. Three black and white plates depicting scenes of wilderness action inserted (NOTE that a New York Public Library digital copy of this book examined by us at the HathiTrust website features a fourth illustration used as frontispiece that this copy does not have.) Faint previous owner signature near top edge of front pastedown. This copy graded FAIR-only, with nicks at spine ends and rubbing to board tips. The paper has become brittle over the many decades, and there are a couple of short tears, no loss or text affected (at fore-edge of pp. 42/43, for example). A substantial tear near gutter of pp. 107/108 from top-edge downward about 30 % of the leaf (see image for our best attempt at a close-up). Again, no loss of paper or text.
