Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., Illustrated by: B&W Photos and Drawings
Ranches and Ranch Life in America

A big book on American ranching history; historic ranches; modern methods (c. 1960s); horse breeds; livestock breeds (beef, dairy, sheep, hogs, mules); rodeos; and dude ranches. There is almost now wear on the book, which would class Fine were it not that some idiot cut a small rectangle from the front free endpaper (probably removing a name). The jacket has just a hint of edgewear along the top, and is protected in a mylar wrapper. All else is spiffy! (That's not a bookseller word - I'm just tired of writing "clean and crisp" today.)

Publisher: Binfords and Mort: Portland, OR 1947
Buff cloth over boards, printed in green with green photo endpapers (City of Portland). 196 pages with B&W photos, including one of the "new" Oregon Journal Building (a newspaper long since defunct) and the "new" Equitable Savings and Loan Building, "The largest, most modern air-conditioned office building on the Pacific Coast." (It's 12 stories high. Don't laugh, when I was a kid I remember staring up at this grand edifice in admiration and awe.) Signed by the author on the copyright page. Paper is slightly toned with age, no other defects (you might call it Near Fine, but it doesn't quite strike me that way with the toning. I'm really tough on descriptions.) The jacket is a bit toned at extremes, with a rough upper edge and couple of short tears (protected in mylar wrapper). Part history, part guide-book, this volume also has a special section on the Rose Festival, Royal Rosarians, Rose Test Garden, and the history of the rose. Numerous entries on Portland businesses, events, schools, etc. Signed by Author First American Edition Good Hard Cover Very Good Plus 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Hugh A. Garland, Illustrated by: B&W Engraved Frontises
The Life of John Randolph of Roanoke (2 volumes)
Publisher: D. Appleton & Co. New York 1851
Two volumes in dark brown cloth, with engraved frontis portraits of Randolph. Vol I - The spine is mostly deteriorated, cracked, chipped, although most of the title elements remain. (What remains of the spine is very brittle.) Rear cover detached, signatures sprung, a few loose pages. One page has suffered a child's penciled scribble, but all are present and otherwise mostly clean. Vol 2 is in better shape with some splitting to edges of spine, book plate or ?? crudely removed from front paste down, rear hinge cracked, a few tick marks but pages complete and intact. No, this is not pretty but it is a good reading/reference copy and could be rebound. Randolph was politcally involved in the early history of the US, the Revolutionary war, associations with Jefferson, Burr, etc. Apparently also an early abolitionist.
