State House versus Pent HouseLegal Problems of the Rhode Island Race-Track Row

RHODE ISLAND HISTORY RARE PAMPHLET STATE HOUSE VRS PENT HOUSE 1937 SOFT COVER. The story of what happened when the Governor tried to shut down the Narragansett Race Track because of a political dispute with the owner. Finding these sorts of books and publications is always fun. This rare pamphlet (only two copies found online) appeals to my book collector ethos, big time. But hey, I have been doing this for 50 years so its time to let someone else enjoy the thrill. Please find: "State House versus Pent House—Legal Problems of the Rhode Island Race-Track Row," by Zechariah Chafee, Jr. This small-sized soft cover pamphlet (6 x 9 inches, 165 pages) was published as Dorr Pamphlet No. 1 by the Book Shop of Providence, Rhode Island, dated 1937. It is bound in light maroon paper stock with black titles on cover and spine. It includes 8 illustrations and a Map of the "Territory in Insurrection." Condition: This soft cover book (pamphlet) is in very good condition, especially considering that it is a soft cover, glued binding. There is some light soiling and a bit of fading to the covers but nothing extreme (please see the photos). Inside, there are some signs of a bookseller’s pricing erased from the front endpaper but that is the only mark I found in the book. The interior pages are clean and bright throughout. The binding is still tight and sound although a bit canted to the right. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
