The graphic cover of this program catches the eye! Very handsome and in nice condition too. There's only a few small faults, being a tiny loss of paper to tail of spine. a small chip to top front corner next to spine and a minor bit of soiling to very edge at bottom of title and frontis pages. Measures 8"x10-1/2" and is illustrated throughout with photographs and maps. Much history, as well as the program of events and the script of the pageant staged in honor of the festivities.

Seller ID: 0366
Condition: Very good
Booklet has pristine pages and is very tightly bound with no names or writing. The white cover was gently cleaned, but some of the soil of the years lightly remained and I am reluctant to use anything stronger. Overall it is really quite nice. It measures 6-1.4"x9-1/2" and has 52 pages. Booklet was published to celebrate the Centennial of the Founding of Western Reserve Academy and College April 26, 1826 at Hudson, Ohio. The school remains in operation to this day. Booklet tells its history and provides black and white photographs. Not commonly found. View more info

Seller ID: 0408
Condition: Very Good
A bit of slight isolated edge wear is all that detracts from this handsome souvenir program. Though it does contain advertising, it's minimal, so there is much to read here about the history of the Marietta, Ohio area, all of which is augmented throughout with historical photographs. The program measures 7-3/4"x10-1/4" and has 64 pages. View more info

Seller ID: 0425
Condition: Very good
Very nice book, designed in a pleasing style and tied with cording. Measures 8"x11" and has 68 pages of text and historic photographs. Oddly, there is no date, but it precedes 1923 because a timeline for progress on the current university construction shows that the library, the hospital and Wells Hall were all scheduled for completion by 1923-24. A nice look at the university, the town and the people -- even the ads are interesting. View more info

Publisher: Logan County, Ohio, Logan County Historical Society: 1976
Seller ID: 0491
Condition: Fine
Oddly, here is no date on this pristine booklet, but opening remarks show that it coincided with the 200th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence which places it in 1976. Laid-in is a brochure which is a second clue since it commemorates the 1976 designation of East Court Avenue, in Bellefontaine, Ohio as a National Historical Civil Engineering Landmark. It seems that this small town was the first place in the country to have a road paved with concrete. The booklet itself is filled with historic pictures and captions. 72 crisp, clean pages.

Very nice, clean magazine devoted to history, folklore and nostalgia from Ohio and surrounding states. Published every two months.

Publisher: Cleveland, Ohio, Booklet unknown: Postcard Superior News Co.: Booklet unknown; Postcard 1909
Seller ID: 0523
Condition: booklet fine; postcard very good
The booklet is crisp and clean as new, but shows no publishing information. Inside, however, we found a beautiful sepia postcard pg Garfield Memorial at Lake View postmarked, February 8, 1909, Cleveland, Ohio. The divided back shows this message, "Regards from the Rabensteins Cleveland, Ohio, Bill." The address portion reads, Miss Anna Kiefler c/o Telephone Exchange, Cincinnati, Ohio Sta. L.. The booklet measures 6-1/4"x9-1/4" and has nine pages of text and photographs. It's clearly much newer than the postcard, but we found them together and they augment one another -- so together they stay! View more info

Seller ID: 0545
Condition: Fine
The colorful cover of this attractive booklet is definitely an eye catcher and the condition is superb. At first glance it appears to be a travel guide, but is not. It's a sort of state of the union telling both residents and tourists all the many reasons to be glad they're there! Oddly, it has no date, but the last year quoted for research and statistics is 1936. Black and white photographs abound and are printed on coated paper. Covers all facets of county life. Measures 5-1/4"x7-1/2". An added bonus is a flyer tucked inside from a San Francisco restaurant called The Challenger offering an e... View more info

Condition: Good-plus
A very big book for a very small town -- no page numbers, but it's 1/2" thick. Very nice and tightly bound with all faults external. The former owner stamped her name and address at upper corner of cover and there are some gray marks, both front and back, which looked like they should come right off the shiny surface with book cleaner, but did not. Many historical photographs and lots of text with advertising confined to back of book. One of the most complete centennial publications I've ever seen. View more info

Seller ID: 0716
Condition: Very Good
This is a decidedly fascinating little booklet which offers a tremendous amount of information, including drawings of equipment of the trade and the many styles available. The text covers the work of the wigmaker of course, but also the history of the trade, the Williamsburg wig shops, the colonial era clientele, the making of a wig, the prices, the role of barbers. Here's a fascinating fact -- in 1727 a French encyclopedia stated that there were 45 styles of wigs. In 1764 it had grown to 115. Booklet measures 6"x9-1/2" and has36 pages. View more info
