ROAD TO ALASKA W/ 50 PICTURES

ROAD TO ALASKA BY DOUGLAS COE W/ 50 PICTURES BY W. SCOTT HOSKINS 1943 1ST. Staying with Alaska (The Last Frontier as they call it and somewhere I visit regularly because two of my sons live there) I am pleased to offer: Road to Alaska- The Story of the Alaska Highway with text by Douglas Coe and pictures by Winfield Scott Hoskins. This small hard cover book (5 ¾ x 8 ½ inches, 176 pages) was published by Julian Messner Inc of New York dated 1943, with no other mention of edition. The book is bound in burnt orange boards with black titles on cover and spine. It is very well illustrated with 50 pictures throughout the text by the Artist and 6 maps related to the building of the road. The endpapers are also nicely decorated. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers have some marking across the front cover which I imagined were part of a missing decoration but now believe are stains. The hard covers are lightly bumped and the spine a bit darkened. Inside a former owner has left his neat bookplate on the front endpaper but that is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages and pictures are clean and bright throughout without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
