‎Washington: Government Printing Office 1937. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Octavo xxvi 1140 pages; VG-; Spine black with faded gold print; Boards in black cloth mild wear and rubbing binding slightly loose; With both of the two maps in rear pocket; small water-stain to lower fore corner of text block.;<br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> Signed on verso of the ffep by 26 members of the Federal Writers Project including founding director Henry Alsberg assistant to the director George Cronyn and assistant director Reed Harris. The remainder are presumed some of the writers or editors hired by the Federal Writers Project to research the book including composer Ruth Crawford Seeger anarchist Leonard Abbott and author/editor Kathryn Coe Cordell. Other listed names include C. W. Foster Donald C. Kline J. Frank James Howard S. Douglas John C. Rogers B. Foster Cooke and Sterling A. Brown.;<br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> An important piece of DC history linking the leadership of the FWP with some of its largely ignored and unrecorded writers and editors. Nowhere in the volume does it list the names of any individual contributors. Due to the book size and coated paper the book weighs over 5 pounds reportedly causing President Franklin D. Roosevelt to ask "Where is the steamer trunk that goes with it"<br /> <br><br /> <br><br /> Preface: "The volume on Washington herewith given to the public differs in at least one important respect from the guides to other large cities now being prepared. Washington is predominantly the Capital of the United States. Visitors to the city are commonly interested as much in the machinery of national government as in the great buildings which house that machinery. Therefore a considerable portion of this volume is given over to detailed accounts of the functional activities of all Government departments bureaus and independent agencies." 1331800.

‎Death Valley: A Guide‎

‎Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good in Fair dj. c.1939. First Edition. Hardcover. book is moderately shelfworn has a library-type pocket on front pastedown with one-time owner's address label affixed the same owner's signature on the copyright page and a small envelope glued to the rear pastedown see notes for content; the fold-out map affixed to rear endpaper is present and in excellent condition; jacket is heavily chipped along top edge partially split along spine a little paper loss at spine ends a few tiny scrape marks on front panel a tiny scraped hole in rear panel. American Guide Series Series B&W photographs Comprehensive guide to the history geology climate topography flora and fauna of California's Death Valley. As typical with this excellent series about 2/3 of the book is devoted to detailed automobile tours of the Valley -- in this case divided between "Main Highways" 7 tours and "Rough Roads" 13 tours. Many of the 59 photographs in the book were sourced from the Department of Interior or the Union Pacific Railroad although there are three Edward Weston images and a dozen or so credited to "Frashers" the photography business established by Burton Frasher Sr. in 1907. Noting the front-cover blurb that the book was 'approved by the National Park Service" it's interesting to contemplate that Death Valley had only been declared a National Monument just six years before this publication. NOTE that in the small envelope affixed to the rear pastedown it's unclear whether this was part of the original issue or applied by a later owner of the book is contained a rate sheet dated 1954-1955 for Scotty's Castle -- where the absolutely top-of-the-line accommodation was the "Johnson Suite" available for three people at $30 a night. The rate sheet printed on bright pink paper and folded in sixths is in mint condition. . Houghton Mifflin Company hardcover books‎
