The 48-page business directory at the end of the book is fascinating. See Peel (3rd) 860. This copy has new endpapers and bears a library stamp on the first page of advertisements. The first eight pages (which includes the map) are stained. The rest of the contents are exceptionally clean and unmarked. Ill.: map, business directory.
