About This Item
Denver, (1870): S.S. Wallihan & Company. Octavo. The first year of publication. 442 pages, plus 7 full page ads in the front and 59 full page ads at the rear with ads found throughout the text. Besides being an important and the earliest accurate directory of Denver and other Colorado counties, it has a detailed list of the mines in all the counties (p. 174-216) Howes C 611 who notes this was printed in Chicago prior to the fire, thus, a pre-Chicago fire imprint. It also has the bookseller label of Raymer's Old Bookstore. He later removed to Minneapolis where he advertised using the same ad format in 1885 and then in 1889 was convicted of violating the second-hand dealer's ordinance for buying valuable books for only $1. Bound in original green cloth centrally stamped in gilt, spine lettering gilt. Professional restoration to spine ends, light wear to corners, some soiling. A very good copy. [Howes-611, Streeter 4280].
