Descripción

Storrs-Mansfield, CT / Parsippany, New Jersey: Martino Fine Books / About Books, 1995. 6 separate volumes, complete [5 volumes bound in 6 books WITH LARGE FOLD-OUT MAPS -- just like the first edition]. SEE PHOTOS. Each of the 6 books in this 1995 large format edition measures 9.25" wide by 12.25" tall. [This is NOT the later, smaller format 3-volume reprint in which the maps are reduced in size]. Unlike later reduced-size editions, the maps in this 1995 six-volume edition measure as large as 21" by 33" when unfolded. SEE PHOTOS. As original co-publisher, we are pleased to offer the few remaining sets of the 1995 large-format 6-volume edition (recently rediscovered in our warehouse). They are BRAND NEW in perfect condition. STILL SEALED in the publisher's clear plastic SHRINKWRAP and the PUBLISHER'S CARDBOARD SHIPPING BOX. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. No date (but 1995, First Martino/About Books printing "strictly limited to 350"). Reprint of the original 1957-1963 six separate volumes: xiv, 264; xiii, 281; xiii, 349; xiii, 260; xix, 222; (iv), 223-487pp. MAPPING THE TRANSMISSISSIPPI WEST is a monumental and exceptionally thorough work that is unlikely to be surpassed. The set is illustrated with a total of 376 maps, including several that fold out. In this standard carto-bibliography are full descriptions of some 1,300 maps from the year 1540 to about 1880. Wheat discusses each map, showing the origins of its date and weighing its significance and accuracy. He also identifies the atlases and books in which the maps can be found. Norman Thrower: "Scholars and others who are interested in the American west have found Wheat's work indispensable." Ristow 382: "A comprehensive cartobibliography with many fine reproductions." The 6 volumes are uniformly bound in the original gilt-stamped green cloth. SEE PHOTOS. Oversize Hardcover. All 6 volumes measure 9.25" wide by 12.25" tall.
