About This Item
Concord, New Hampshire, U.S.A.: Edson C. Eastman, 1875 Publisher: Concord: Edson C. Eastman, 1875. VG condition with 248 illustrated pages, the Large folding map of The White Mountains iby Cavis is present with several mis-folds and a few very short tears, (about Good+) & 7 pages of illustrated ads. A decent example of the Tenth edition. Dated 1872 on all points. Original Roan (rusrty red) cloth with Titles in gilt and blindstamped border rules, general moderate wear, corner & spine end chipping, Covers are sound and tight but have old moisture staining and wear at the spine ends. Folding original map 'Map of Routes' soundly affixed at the title page and also in Very Good condition. After having the same copyright for app. 7 years (1864-1870) the publisher finally upgraded the Map and other info with this edition. The deliniations & text on the White Mountains map are bolder and areas more distinct than in the earlier Cavis maps. Several peaks, hotels, RR lines, etc... were added as well. This book and approximately 300 other White Mountain Guides (AMC, Eastman’s, Sweetser’s, Osgood’s, Ticknor’s, Chisholm’s, etc...) are part of a very large collection we have just purchased & taken in from a long-time collector and local AMC & White Mountain historian here in NH. Consisting of over 1500 items, it is one of the largest collections of White Mountains & AMC material that we have ever seen, in private hands that is. If you need or want anything having to do with this field it is likely that we have it or can get it. NOTE: We also have multiple copies of many books, in some cases up to 20 or so. That includes rare titles as well as common ones. For instance, I currently have 3 examples of the 1922 AMC WM Guide, 7 copies of the 1936 WM Guide, 6 1928, over 15 exampless of ‘Passaconaway in the White Mountains’ by Beals....several signed, etc... many others. Please inquire if you are a dealer or collector who wishes to buy in bulk with good discounts available. Mat
