Item description from seller

Fine unread condition glossy black-and-white photographic softcover wraps. Includes Author Dedication; A Special Tribute; Technical Data; Acknowledgments and Index. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. A vintage 1994 neatly scripted gift inscription by Mildred Gertrude Hall to "Dearest Barbara Jean, Roger, and Schubert states, in part: "This is a picture book on "Old Manchester" that I hope you both enjoy it as I do. Something you can turn to many times. Manchester has been my home since I was born in 1909. Many changes , no car then only horse and buggy - No planes, but my grandmother was the first woman in Manchester to take a plane ride in 1924. Christmas Greetings & Love always, Mother (Mildred Gertrude Lepp) Hall." "For Reference Not to be taken from this room" sticker neatly affixed to upper edge of inner front cover and two library stamps. Uncirculated "For Reference: Not to be taken from this room" Geneology Department copy. "Time Traveler: We' like to welcome you to "Old Manchester.A Picture Book". You are about to become a time traveler on a journey back in time to a constant space that is ever changing but remains somewhere in Manchester, Connecticut. Where there is now only sand or vestigial stone, there used to be a factory. Where the river now runs flat and placid, there used to be a dam, a race of rapid waters and a water wheel. Where there is now a sleek and expensive modern car parked at the curb there used to be a lively horse and a white-aproned jovial Irish delveryman called "Johnny the Baker". Where there is now a muffler shop, there used to be a "shoeing parlor" for horses. Where there used to be a quiet wooded path, there now runs the road called Broad Street. As a time traveler, you will journey back in time to the 1800's and early 1900's. The pictures portray specific areas of town, over a wide period of time, not always in any particular order. On one page you may find yourself in front of a country store in 1855, then turn the page to find yourself a block away looking at scenes from 1878. Remember time traveler, whether it's a blink of the eye or a snap of the fingers, you must open your mind as you enter the new (very old) world of old Manchestr, Conn." - from the Preliminary Page entitled Time Traveler.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases! RECENT CUSTOMER ACCOLADES: "Hi Steve, just received the mega sized Atlas Shrugged. Great service, great packaging, and excellent book condition. Looking forward to reading it again.
