1939 New York World’s Fair vintage book “Your World of Tomorrow” the Perisphere
$84.00
This is a large format, stapled soft cover, measuring 9 x 12″, published in 1939 by Rogers-Kellogg-Stillson, Inc., 20 pages in total, filled with black and white artwork and photographs.
This is a “good +” item. The outer cover is not attached, and it appears that the upper staple is completely gone. The cover is split about 4″ at the bottom at the fold and about 1 1/2″ at the top. Aside from weakening at binding fold, the pages are not torn or folded. No writing. Covers have edge wear, lower front corner is dogged.
Showing some wear, but is complete and still quite pleasing. Relatively scarce publication now.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged in a rigid container.

Sunny Memories of Ireland’s Killarney 1867 with 15 photographs including Ross Castle
$511.00
"Sunny Memories of Ireland's Scenic Beauties Killarney", published by F.H. Mares, dated 1867.
9" tall, green cloth wrapped decorated boards, text block gilt all side, title page decoration embellished with gold lettering, photographs are actual photographic paper pasted to pages, not paginated. This is a "good" or better antique book with intact binding but weakened hinges. No loose or torn or folded pages. Some light foxing and spotting in places. I am not entirely sure, but the front free end paper looks to be adhered to the front paste down because the book opens immediately to the title page and what appears to be the paste down is of the same paper type as the other pages, yet looking at the back of the book, free end paper and the paste down are different color. The pages are lightly waved due to the photos being of a glossy paper and having been pasted to each page. The front cover cloth is a little lifted in some places and there is some spotting to the cloth (see accompanying images). The board corners are worn and show the underlying board. Overall, while not perfect, it is complete, the photos are rather stunning and it is a pleasing book. Of note: This printing has 15 photographs (see image of the table of contents), similar books typically have just 12. The images contained with accompanying descriptions on each following page: >> General View of the Lakes >> Ross Castle >> Lower Lake from Innisfallen >> O'Sullivan's Cascade >> Glena Bay >> Brickeen Bridge >> The Middle, or Torc Lake >> Muckross Abbey >> Torc Cascade >> Landing Place at Dinis Island >> The Old Weir Bridge >> Eagle's Nest Mountain >> The Upper Lake >> The Black Valley >> The Gap of Dunloe Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, insured.
