Description: THE BOOK HAS HAD A FEW BAD EXPERIENCES YET IT REMAINS COMPLETE AND FUNCTIONAL, AS DOES THE MAP. - REAR COVER WAS TORN AND CREASED. IT WAS ALSO REPAIRED RATHER NEATLY WITH GLUE (PHOTO 22-24) GIVEN THE ROUGHNESS OF THE TEARS. (FOR THESE REASONS NO OVERALL CONDITION IS PROVIDED) - THE LAST LEAF, WHICH INCLUDES ONE SIDE OF TEXT, WAS ALSO TORN AND SIMILARLY REPAIRED (PHOTO 21 & 22). THE PAGE PRIOR TO THAT HAD A ONE INCH TEAR THAT WAS ALSO REPAIRED (PHOTO 21) AND THAT IS THE EXTENT OF TEARS TO THE PAGES. - FRONT COVER HAS SURFACE LOSS AND SOFT CORNERS WITH REPAIR TO THE SPINE COVER. (PHOTO 1 & 2) BOTTOM HALF INCH OF SPINE COVER IS NOT PRESENT (PHOTO 2). - OWNER NAME ON TOP OF TITLE PAGE (PHOTO 3). CONTENTS PAGE ON (PHOTO 4). - CORNERS ARE GENERALLY LIGHTLY BUMPED BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM. - DESPITE THE DAMAGE TO THE COVERS AND LAST LEAF, THE REST OF THE BOOK IS IN QUITE GOOD CONDITION. INTERIOR AGE RELATED PAPER TONING THROUGHOUT. OCCASIONAL CORNER BUMPS AND HANDLING CREASES BUT NO TEARS OTHER THAN THE LAST TWO LEAVES. BINDING IS TIGHT. - MAP HAS BEEN DETACHED AND SMALL AMOUNT OF PAPER MISSING FROM MAP IS STILL IN BOOK (PHOTO 16). THE MAP HAD SPLITS ALONG THE FOLDS AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED ON VERSO WITH LINEN TAPE. MAP IS 15.75" X 20". THERE REMAIN SHORT SPLITS AT EDGES OF SEAMS AND AT THE VERY CENTER. - FRONT OF MAP IS SHOWN IN (PHOTO 17) AND REAR IN (PHOTO 20). (PHOTO 18 & 19) SHOW IMPERFECTIONS WHERE THE PRIOR TEARS WERE REPAIRED FROM REAR. The damage or improper lining up is along the lines of the width of a hair but it can be seen when held up to the light. (I WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO REMOVE THE EDGE OF THE MAP STILL IN THE BOOK AND ATTACH IT TO THE MAP RATHER THAN TRY TO REMOUNT THE MAP INTO THE BOOK.)...SO I DID NOTHING ON THAT SUBJECT. - The book is interesting as it shows photos of nearly every train station along with photos of area highlights as well as text describing each location. - The book has rates of fare from junction points to all points on the main line and branches- List of stations, elevations and distances- One way excursion rates from New York City to all points on the Ulster & Delaware RR.- List and photos of Hotels and Summer Boarding Houses on or near the line of Ulster & Delaware RR- List of Hotels and Summer Boarding Houses on or near the line of Delaware & Eastern RR. (These are the last 2 pages, those impacted by the repairs shown in (PHOTO 21) PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. Diana300oak
