Indianapolis: National Map Company. Fair. 1929. Edition 1283. Paperback. Section torn from front cover, endpapers discolored from red dye on inside of cover ; Folio - over 12 - 15" tall .

Undated mid 20th century softcover US atlas and gazetteer as pictured. Black textured covers with gold stamping are soiled, rubbed and quite worn with curled corners. Screw post binding is intact. Red and gold endpapers with spider web patterned front tissue guard. Despite its outward very worn appearance this is a beautiful atlas containing a number of sectional maps showing main roads as well as very nice, more detailed individual state maps with counties outlined in color and a gazetteer section listing towns and populations. The text is lightly tanned but each map would be suitable for framing. The maps are unmarked except for that of Florida which has been written on with pencil.
