About This Item
Seattle: Superior Publishing Company, 1965. Hardcover. Small 4to. Grey cloth with black lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 191pp. Frontispiece, extensive illustrations, pictorial map endpapers. Near fine/very good. Bit of mild jacket edgewear only, with small chip at upper right of rear panel -- but overall bright and quite nice. A handsome, tight first edition of this outstandingly-illustrated survey of the earliest presses and newspapers of all Western states. Inner flyleaf bears a fine and bold inscription and signature in blue ballpoint from the author (1922-2011): "To Hal and Isy -- / It's a particular pleasure to / sign a book for someone / who can appreciate the trials / and tribulations of the Fourth / Estate -- in any era! / Bob Karelovitz / 12/5/65." Near bottom of this page is also a nonauthorial 1965 gift inscription. A superb copy with a choice and relevant author inscription.
