Baedeker guidebook - United States

Leipzig, K. Baedeker; New York, C. Scribner

The Baedeker firm has been creating some of the best travel guides since the first half of the 19th century. This is the 3rd, revised, edition of the United States and Mexico guide, and is a wealth of information on the U.S. at the turn-of-the-century. Illustrated with maps and plans of cities and major attractions from New York to Seattle to Vera Cruz. Contains information about hotels, transportation, restaurants, tourist attractions, theatres, and everything else one would expect from a travel guide, this work documents life in America in the early 20th century.

Remove tape from spine, reattach and paper repair to some smaller maps. Large maps beyond repair.
