Seller ID: 1841

Binding: card cover

Condition: Good-plus condition

This is such a charming catalog, published to accompany an antiques and art exhibit on Heinz Ocean Pier in Atlantic City, "the seadside home of the 57 varieties."

The guide book measures 4-1/2" x 7-1/2" and has a few black and white photographs throughhout. The one I showed is the only damaged one -- loss of upper corner which does not impinge on the integrity of the image. Two wonderful color scenes inside -- one at t...

Inside the pages (heavy cardboard) are 26 cabinet photos and none at the back for carte de visites, so you could add.
