About this Item
6-1/2" x 9-1/2", approx. 500pp. Sewn signatures in printed paper wrapper. Volume consists of numerous separately numbered sections, including George M. Dawson's 239-page account of his visit to Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands). Accompanied by numerous folding maps and charts. Volume shows signs of heavy use, as the binding is (to use the technical term) falling apart, and is now in a vinyl pouch. Cover is noticeably worn and soiled, there is a 1/4" x 2" tear off the bottom front cover, corners are worn, the spine has come adrift (the remnant is now folded into the book). The binding is fragile. A previous owner has written his name and contact information onto the first sheet some time after 1970 (judging by the phone number), otherwise the pages are age toned but clean and unmarked. This is a reading copy of a scarce and important volume, which however requires re-binding to withstand regular use. Seller Inventory # 002357
