Ohio The Buckeye State Vol.1-S The Manhattan Library (1935)

By: No Author Stated

Price: $12.00

Publisher: New York City, Bank of the Manhattan Company: 1935

Edition: Volume 1-S

Seller ID: 3344

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

I have never seen any volumes from the Manhattan Library series, but I just found this one in one of my storage closets. The booklet is quite small at 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" which makes it too big to be called a miniature. Nonetheless it's a dainty size and is charming. The cover has some light creasing which is caused by rifling through the cover and pages with a thumb, but fortunately it's not in danger of snapping off at a crease mark. The booklet has 87 pages telling the history of Ohio. It's published by the Bank of the Manhattan Company which was chartered in 1799.
