Interesting book about Philly from its founding until the early 1800s, with many photos and illustrations. Oversized hardcover measuring 12” x 9”, 331 pages. Clean, lightly age-toned pages except for one chapter used for research; pages 160-176 contain writing, circling of paragraphs and stains. Note: the map originally included at the back is missing. Loose spine with cracked rear hinge (see photos). A little fraying and staining to boards with bumped corners and spine. Ships in a box, protected with bubble wrap. There is a lot of Philly history in this worn book. (SW4)
