Sobre este artículo
Brooklyn: Lain & Co., 1879. First edition. Octavo. [8, title and ads], 273, [13, ads] pp. Publisher’s blind stamped pebbled mauve cloth with gilt cover and spine lettering. Old darkly translucent stain on pp. 77-97 (result of a spill of some sort) but eminently legible. Aside from that issue this is a lovely copy in the original and very well preserved original cloth. Only two copies located by OCLC. An invaluable look into fin-de-siecle Brooklyn. There are 24 booksellers listed. The guide is both by street (individuals) and by profession. Many of the ads have large illustrations of either their product or their buildings. Lain began publishing his Brooklyn directories in 1857/8. None appear in the records of RBH.
