Near fine in heavy, light green printed paper wraps over an adhesive binding with map front end papers. A small octavo measuring 8 3/8 by 5 1/4 inches containing 320 pages including an index. The spine is very slightly tanned and with a slight list. Without a dust jacket as issued. As recognized in Jerre Mangione's study of the WPA's Federal Writer's Project on page 46, The Connecticut Guide What to See And Where To Find It "helped to clinch the plan of preparing a series of state guides that could employ the services of researchers and all kinds of writers." "Although The Connecticut Guide fell short of the standards that were later" to be established for "the American Guide Series, it did provide the model for WPA's series". This title is also recognized in the American Guide Series volume for Connecticut as the "predecessor and inspiration" for the series.
