Little wear. Lower front right corner of the cover is bent. Owner's name inside front cover. Two fold-outs, one a map shown in photo #3, the other of a large structure, are fully intact.

Photo #3 is of King Charles's Tower. (Doesn't say which one.) This is a travel guide that would have been sold to tourists to the area. No date within, but I suspect it to be from the late 1950s. (Some of the automobiles in the photographs look more like 1930s and 1940s.) Little wear.

I am sure some are still there, and today you can supplement this book… Read more about this item

Very little wear. Includes 108 Oregon State Parks, with descriptions, pictures and maps, organized by region. according to my extensive minute of research, there are now 110, so you'll miss out on two if you buy this book.
