Item description from seller

KATHRYN TUCKER WINDHAM'S COPY. Second printing (as stated upon copyright page; first published by Viking Press in May 1938). i-xxiv, 1-545 pages. Hardcover: H 20.75cm x L 13.75cm. No dust jacket (i.e. lacking). Off-white/beige cloth; foxing/toning most prevalent to spine along with some soiling and slight mottling; slight rubbing loss to publisher lettering at spine heel but spine's title/author lettering and front board's stamping remains strong. Text block edges foxed. Three-line ink ownership inscription "Kathryn T. Windham . . . Selma, Alabama" at top of front pastedown; pencil date at top of ffep; April 1944 ink ownership name/address stamp of a Los Angeles resident upon title page; mild foxing/toning to front endpapers with strong toning to rear endpapers plus a few occurrences of foxing to interior leaves which otherwise remain mostly clean. Binding is firm. Some foxing to foldout color map (dated 1938) which is present in rear free endpaper pocket. Laid-in at front endpapers are two magazine clippings with Windham's ink date notations plus two color postcards both probably circa 1970s; toned note sheet also with Windam's ink writing laid-in at pages 184-185; newspaper clipping with ink date notation of April 1975 also in Windham's hand laid-in at rear endpapers. Fourteen maps amongst text including tour maps for the towns of Columbus, Holly Springs, Natchez, and Vicksburg. Sponsored by the Mississippi Advertising Commission. Foreword by WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. Preface by State Director Eri Douglas and State Editor Gene Holcomb. B/w photographs throughout with images by Willa Johnston, Gene Holcomb, O.N. Pruitt, Earl M. Norman, and W. Lincoln Highton as well as three images by Eudora Welty: GATHERING FOR A POLITICAL RALLY on page 9, SHANTYBOAT LIFE on page 16, and A ONE-MULE POWER CANE PRESS on page 449. Concluding appendix section features Chronology, Bibliography, and Index. A nice association copy to renowned Alabama storyteller and folklorist Kathryn Tucker Windham who would likely have utilized the this WPA guide for her 1974 book 13 MISSISSIPPI GHOSTS AND JEFFREY which was a popular follow-up to her 1969 classic 13 ALABAMA GHOSTS AND JEFFREY. As this guidebook was present in Windham's home it too must have witnessed Windham's resident specter Jeffrey but the book remains mute on this subject despite persistent questioning.
