Descripción

Atlanta, tall octavo (10 by 7 inches), variously paged, with numerous plates, maps and text figures. ***CONTENT: These scarce Georgia volumes mostly deal with the mineral resources of the State. One important volume describes the "mineral springs", including the Warm Springs Resort, in Meriwether County, made famous when purchased by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1927 for physical therapy. Volumes in this set include: Bulletin 20 (1913) - MINERAL SPRINGS OF GEORGIA, with 190 p., 25 plates and map; Bulletin 29 (1914) - ASBESTOS, TALC, AND SOAPSTONE DEPOSITS OF GEORGIA, with 319 p., 21 plates and map; Bulletin 30 (1915) - FELDSPAR AND MICA DEPOSITS, AND GEORGIA PEGMATITES, with 190 p., 9 plates and map; Bulletin 36 (1920) - BARYTES DEPOSITS OF GEORGIA, with 146 pp., 11 plates and 4 maps; Bulletin 39 (1922) - HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF GEORGIA, with 154 p. and 7 plates; Bulletin 41 (1924) - IRON ORE DEPOSITS OF GEORGIA, with 222 p. and 10 plates; Bulletin 42 (1925) - PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF GEORGIA, with 189 p. and 43 plates; and Bulletin 43 (1928) - GEOLOGY OF THE TATE QUADRANGLE, GEORGIA, with 170 p., 22 plates and 2 maps. Many text figures in these volumes are actually maps. ***CONDITION: The seven hardcover volumes are complete, NEAR-FINE, and bound in the original decorated brick-red cloth, with gilt lettering on the backstrips. The covers are very well preserved and show only a trace of wear to the extremities. Backstrip lettering typically bold and bright. Joints and hinges solid, bindings firm. The text pages and illustrations are near pristine: fresh, clean and bright. Most of these volumes were deaccessioned from a New England library and have shelf labels on the lower spines, and small stamps on preliminary pages. Bulletin 39 and the other softcover reports are VG in the original printed-paper wrappers. The hardcover volumes are particularly handsome and contain a wealth of valuable information on Georgia geology. Domestic and international shipping will be extra, but only at my cost.
