A propos de cet article

Being professional booksellers, we would never use a colloquial phrase like "ugly as all get-out" to describe the external appearance of this 1884 first edition of Nimmo's sought-after volume. Certainly it's not pretty -- "fair-to-good" at best. Original pebbled green-cloth boards are blind-stamped "U.S. Government Bindery"; gilt titles faded but still legible to spine. Top of rear board was once damp (though no dampstains seem to have penetrated to the text block), and that rear board shows a long diagonal dent. There are also some paper adhesions to front board (Please see scan.) The good news? Internal text block is complete with no substantial staining or foxing -- "very good." And all four original, large, two-color fold-out maps are complete and still attached at rear of the book -- actually making up about 40 percent of the inch-and-a-half thickness of this volume. Map One shows the principal transportation lines running west of Chicago and New Orleans, including projected rail lines into Mexico. Map Two shows the principal transportation lines East of the Mississippi (primarily rail lines but including the Erie Canal.) Maps Three and Four show the "transportation lines tributary to the commercial interests" of St. Louis, New Orleans, and Indianapolis. Partially unfolding Map No. 2 in order to fit a segment onto our flatbed scanner caused tearing along several fold lines, which required repair with Scotch "Magic" tape to verso (only.) Therefore, we will not be unfolding these 140-year-old maps in order to shoot any further scans. 309 pp. including 28 appendices. Reduced from $200.…
