Description: This rare 1886 book, titled "Peculiarities of American Cities" by Captain Willard Glazier, would make a fascinating addition to any collection. The gilded hardcover binding and ornate illustrations throughout make it a beautiful item for display, while the detailed exploration of historic North American cities makes it a valuable resource for travel and history enthusiasts. While it would look great on a bookshelf or displayed so you can see the front cover, this book does have age-related condition issues. Please look closely at all photos and note where there are separations happening between the pages and binding, where there is shelf wear and fraying on the cover boards and spine, and where there are tears, spots or folds on interior pages. All that said, the overall condition is decent and in line with what you should expect from a 138-year-old book. Maybe the best part are the excellent, detailed illustrations of landmarks and cityscapes sprinkled throughout the descriptions of 22 different U.S. and North American cities (including a couple of Canadian cities, Montreal and Quebec). Thanks for looking!
