Pictorial brownish-red covers; triangular 1.5cm deep chip at top left of front cover adjacent to spine with closed tear ascending to bottom of top binding staple; small chip at bottom right corner of front cover too; rear cover has large triangular chip to top left corner with relatively shallow but jagged 6.5cm long chip below center fore-edge; small chip also rear covers creased bottom left corner. Front and rear covers each have an adjacent interior spider-web patterned acetate or glassine leaf both of which share some small edge loss and tears mirroring the aforementioned cover chips.

Pink-toned interior leaves feature a month-by-month tabular event lists of which a majority are presented on rectos with illustrations on opposing versos. Two brief one-page essays titled "Indian Dances and Celebrations" and "Frontier Celebrations" are unattributed to a specific author but are generally credited to Oklahoma Federal Writers Project Director Jim Thompson. Only a good copy at best per the cover damage but interior leaves are clean and binding remains firm and still a quite scarce FWP imprint. {Bibliographical reference: September 1941 WPA Writers' Program Publications catalogue - page 37.} Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller.
