Poor's Manual of Railroads of the United States 1888 21st Annual

Descripción

Most pages clean, lightly toned. Some small notations in pencil on the front pastedown. White tape used to reinforce hinges on front pastedown and first page obscuring a little of the Hussey, Howe & Co. advertisement on the front pastedown. Embossed name and address on the first page. The same tape used to reinforce rear pastdown and last page partially obscuring the Jersey Steel and Iron Co. advertisement on the rear pastedown. One pull out map of railroad construction in the United States is torn and has become detached but is laid in. Two leaves missing just in front of the general index--probably pages of advertisements. One other page missing just before the beginning of Poor's Directory of Railroad Officials. Hinges are cracked under the aforementioned white tape, and near the end of the book, pulled in the book's interior; pages still firmly bound in. The book's exterior covers and spine are quite clean. Spine is darkened from sun exposure. Gilt lettering still bright. Rub wear to the top and bottom edges, cover corners, to the boards in some places. Top and bottom edges of the spine a little frayed. A worn but still very useful copy of this important railroad reference. It will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit. This is a very heavy book that will require extra funds for shipping outside of the United States. N° de ref. del artículo ABJ1295
