About This Item
Galena: Harbin & Harbin, 1939. Paperback. Small 4to. Stiff blue pictorial wrappers. 32pp. Numerous illustrations. Very good. First edition. A tight and nice copy of this tourism booklet with an image of President U.S. Grant on the front wrapper (published from the very same building where Main Street Fine Books & Manuscripts operated 1994 to 2014!). Nice little primer on this important lead mining town in northwest Illinois, adopted hometown of Ulysses S. Grant. Also exists in a stiff orange wrapper, though no priority has been established.
