Page 3 has some green highlighting. rest of book is clean and unmarked. The popular veneer of Denver's present-day Market Street - its fancy bars, posh restaurants, and Coors Field - is stripped away to reveal the street's former incarnation: a mecca of loose morals entrenched in prostitution, liquor, and money.

Description:

This is a revised, refined, and enlarged edition of Clark Seacrest's 1996 comprehensive tome by the same title. Used in research, this copy has some underlining and highlighting—not, however, throughout. The edges and corners of the cover show normal wear. The pages are complete and untorn, and the binding is strong. With dozens of illustrations, appendixes, and bibliography, this book is an excellent source of demimonde Denver's early history made accessible by a 17-page, 4-column index.
