All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the binding is in exceedingly tight unread condition (see photographs). "This publication marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Point Association. it is the second such pamphlet, the first, Here and There On The Point, having been published eighteen years ago. All of the articles have appeared in The Green Light, The Association's quarterly bulletin. Some have been repeated here, some brought up to date, and some new ones added. The Green Light was started by Edith Ballinger Price, who continued as editor until 1962 when Esther Bates took her place; followed in 1975 by our present editor, Rosalys Hall. The Point is the oldest section of Newport. Here some of the country's history was shaped and her traditions have been ever cherished. The Point Association's twenty-five years have been marked by accomplishments, changes for the better, showing how a determined and dedicated people can effect what happens in their community. Houses have been, and are being restored, some of which antedate the Revolution. Many trees and shrubs have been planted. Storer Park was purchased, landscaped, and deeded to the City. Arnold Park and others have been created and beautified. We are indebted to the Newport Historical Society and the Redwood Library for help with research, and to our editorial staff whose long hours of service have made this book possible." - from the Preliminary Page by William H. Fullerton, President. …

Store description
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!
