Nova Anglia Novum Belgium et Virginia . This is the first state of Jansson`s important map of the eastern coast of North America covering from just south of the outer banks in present-day North Carolina to Nova Scotia. The map is based on the less well-known map of Johannes de Laet of 1630, but covers a slightly larger area. Because of its wider distribution, Jansson`s map was much more influential, particularly with its depiction of the Dutch of Nieuw Nederland (New York). Cape Cod, Lake Champlain, Long Island, and the Chesapeake Bay are easily recognized compared to earlier maps. In fact, this map contains some of the earliest accurate cartography of the region showing New Amsterdam, Manhattan Island (Manbattes), Fort Orange, the Hudson (Noordt River) and the Delaware (Zuydt River). The map includes part of the Great Lakes, labeled Grand Lac and Lac des Yroquois, an unnamed Lake Champlain, and a fictitious lake at the headwaters of the Delaware River. According to Karpinski, this ""is the first printed complete map of Lake Superior"" although according to Burden there is no evidence to support that and Grand Lac is more likely Lake Huron. The map is adorned with two decorative cartouches, ships, sea monsters and compass roses. Latin text on verso.See also lot 775 for Philip Burden`s excellent reference work on the mapping of North America, which discusses this map. A fine impression on watermarked paper with light printer`s ink residue and two small, faint spots. 19.8"" W x 15.3"" H . Jansson, Jan . 1638

Carte de la Caroline et Georgie pour Servir a l`Histoire Generale des Voyages . Delicately engraved map of the colonies of Carolina and Georgia from Albemarle Sound to the Alatamaha River. It probably owes its origin to the 1752 map of the region by Emanuel Bowen. There are numerous English settlements along the coast and Indian villages are located throughout, including a number west of the Appalachian Mountains. There is more detail in the area west of the Blue Ridge than in many other maps of the period. It shows a rudimentary course of the Tennessee River in the northwestern section of the map. A decorative rococo-style title cartouche incorporates the distance scale. A nice impression on watermarked paper. 11.3"" W x 7.4"" H . Bellin, Jacques Nicolas . 1757

A New and General Map of the Southern Dominions Belonging to the United States of America, viz North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia: with the Bordering Indian Countries, and the Spanish Possessions of Louisiana and Florida . This is the second edition of this important map that was first published in 1776 in a British military atlas. In this edition the title has been revised to acknowledge the United States. The map is based on the work of De Brahm, Collet, Mouzon and the important hydrographical surveys of the coast of Florida and the Bahamas by Bernard Romans. It includes inset plans of St. Augustine and Charleston above the decorative title cartouche. The map is most noteworthy for its depiction of East and West Florida. The coastline of the Florida peninsula is accurately depicted but the interior remains virtually unknown with a spine of mountains, labeled the Great Sandy Ridge, extending down the center of the peninsula. The map is filled with information concerning the Indian Nations, with numerous trails, roads and villages located. There is light toning and offsetting, some soiling, and a few tiny holes along the centerfold. 25.3"" W x 19.7"" H . Laurie & Whittle, 1794

Southern Provinces of the United States . This finely engraved, large map covers a much broader region than indicated by the title, including the states and territories east of the Mississippi River to the Atlantic and as far north as Lake Erie and eastern Connecticut. The focus of the map however is the southern region with a huge Georgia incorporating today`s Alabama and Mississippi. The only settlements shown in this immense territory are located along the Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean. The balance of the territory is shown under the control of Native Americans with numerous villages, hunting grounds and a few scattered forts located. The area north of the Ohio River also appears to be unorganized except for a few forts. There are also several peculiar mountain ranges shown in this region. There is a scenic vignette of the Hudson River in the top left corner. Original color with very light toning along the centerfold and a small hole east of Nags Head, NC. 23.3"" W x 19.5"" H .

Les Costes aux Environs de la Riviere de Misisipi. Decouvertes par Mr. de la Salle en 1683… . This interesting map focuses on the French explorations and discoveries in the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf Coast. Here, De Fer highlights information gleaned from the expeditions of La Salle and Iberville with the primary purpose of showing the progress of French exploration in the region. The map shows the basically correct relationship of the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico. La Salle had explored the Mississippi from the north in 1682-83 and returned by sea to establish a French colony in 1685. He missed the Mississippi delta and landed on the Texas coast, an error probably due to his inability to calculate longitude and because prominent maps of the period placed the mouth of the river far to the west of its true location. The site of La Salle`s ill-fated colony near Matagorda Bay in modern-day Texas is shown and the title cartouche also dramatizes the explorer`s tragic death at the hands of his own men. Engraved by Vincent de Ginville. A nice impression on watermarked paper with good margins. 13"" W x 8.5"" H . Fer, Nicolas de . 1705

Florida Called by ye French Louisiana &c. This map is based on Moll`s larger map of 1720 and portrays the Gulf Coast and Florida with detail of Indian villages, missions, mines, and forts. It is one of the earliest printed maps to describe the roads and trading paths in the region. It is also filled with interesting notations including notes on La Salle`s landing in Texas in 1685, the Cenis Missions and early Texas settlements in 1716-17, and the limits of King Charles II`s Grant to the Lord Proprietors (Carolina) in 1663. This edition has the erroneous apostrophe in calle`d in the title removed. Original color on watermarked paper with some light color offsetting from an opposing page. 10.7"" W x 7.8"" H .

Carta Geografica della Florida nell` America Settentrionale . Finely engraved copper plate map of the southeast part of North America based on Delisle. It covers the region from Filadelfia south to the Bahamas, and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to Tampico. It shows the same area as Ortelius` 1584 map and several earlier maps, but most of the earlier names have been replaced with later names for rivers, towns and villages, and political divisions. The British colonies are confined east of the Apalache. The large pictorial title cartouche features natives aiming arrows at resting lions with elk in the background.

Louisiana, as Formerly Claimed by France, Now Containing Part of British America to the East & Spanish America to the West of the Mississipi. From the Best Authorities . This well-engraved map focuses on the Mississippi River valley and spans the region from Lake Erie to the Gulf Coast. Completed after the conclusion of the French and Indian Wars, the map shows the British and Spanish claims in the region formerly belonging to France, with Britain owning the land east of the Mississippi, including Spanish Florida. To compensate her ally Spain for the loss of Spanish Florida, France gave Spain the land west of the Mississippi.

Luigiana Inglese, colla Parte Occidentale della Florida, della Giorgia, e Carolina Meridonale . This map provides a great regional description of the Gulf Coast from New Orleans to Florida, and of the valley of the Mississippi River north to above the Arkansas River where Hernando de Soto was supposedly buried. The map also details Mobile Bay and the course of the Albama River and tributaries, as well as the region of Capo S. Biagio and the course of the Apalachicola River. In the north, the prominent trading route, Strada de Coll Welk, nearly reaches the Mississippi River and is marked with distances between important points. Another road is shown in Florida and several Indian trails are depicted. Numerous Indian tribes are located and there are notations concerning the quality of the land. The map is sheet X from Zatta`s Le Colonie Unite dell` America Settentrle, which is often referred to as the Italian edition of John Mitchell`s map, on which it is based. Zatta`s maps retain Mitchell`s scale, but being smaller are more legible. Zatta also included updated legends (in Italian) with notations concerning the Revolutionary War, such as Burgoyne`s defeat at Saratoga. Original outline color on watermarked paper with moderate toning along the centerfold and a few worm tracks also along the centerfold. 16.5"" W x 12.5"" H . Zatta, Antonio . 1778

Map of the Southern Parts of the United States of America . First edition of this interesting map of the South during the tumultuous period following independence when the states and central government fought over control of the western land claims. Seven of the 13 original states had claims to areas in the West (those lands between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River). These so-called landed states had a great potential advantage over the six landless states. It was assumed that the future sale of western lands would enrich the landed states and possibly allow them to operate without any form of taxation. The landless states feared that they would lose residents and dwindle into insignificance. The matter was further complicated by the fact that the claims often overlapped one another, which pitted one state`s interests against another. On this map the region of present-day Mississippi and Alabama is labeled Georgia Western Territory, with the coastal region named West Florida. A dotted line running north-south through present-day Georgia demarcates ""All West of this line is claimed by the United States & also by Georgia."" Another dotted line running east-west from the Chatahouchee R. to the Mississippi River is labeled, ""The United States claim to this line."" These overlapping claims were resolved when Spain gave up its claim to West Florida in 1795 and Georgia finally relinquished its claim in 1802 (the last of the landed states to surrender its claim). Issued folding with light offsetting. 15.2"" W x 7.8"" H . Bradley, Abraham Jr. 1797

A Correct Map of the Georgia Western Territory . An interesting and historical map that covers the region that would become Mississippi and Alabama. There is good information on the watershed, and some topography is shown. Many rivers are named, but only four towns: New Orleans, Natches, Mobile, and Pensacola. Along the Mississippi River are lands of the Upper Mississippi Company and the Georgia Company, and to the east is the Tennessee Company. These lands were a part of the infamous Yazoo Land Fraud. In 1795 the governor of Georgia, George Mathews, signed a bill that agreed to sell almost 40 million acres to speculators in the Yazoo Land Act. This corrupt land deal led to the downfall of many popular politicians. President George Washington, speaking about Yazoo said, ""These acts embrace an object of such magnitude and in their consequences may so deeply affect the peace and welfare of the United States..."" .

Il Paese de Cherachesi, con la Parte Occidentale della Carolina Settentrionale, e della Virgina . This map provides a detailed view of the forks of the Missouri and Ohio Rivers along the Mississippi and adjacent areas. While the map is filled with Indian villages, it shows very little European settlement other than a couple of French forts and Dr. Thomas Walker`s settlement. Dr. Walker, surveyor for the Ohio and Loyal Land Companies, led a small group into the area in 1750 and established a supply post in the area of present-day Barbourville, Kentucky. Several blocks of explanatory Italian text cross the map. This is one sheet of Zatta`s version of John Mitchell`s epic map. The whole map, titled ""Le Colonie Unite dell` America Settentrle,"" was published as a set of twelve individual maps. Each sheet stands on its own and has full borders.

Carte que les Gnacsitares ont Dessine sur ... Carte de la Riviere Longue et de Quelques Autres qui se Dechargent dans le Grand Fleuve Missisipi … . This is one of the most influential, and fanciful, maps in American cartographic history. It purports to show the Riviere Longue flowing from the western mountains, home to the Gnacsitares Indians, and connecting to the Mississippi River. On the western side of the mountains is another river, presumably flowing into the Pacific. Lahontan`s concept was copied by virtually all 18th century cartographers including Moll, Senex, Popple, and Delisle, thus perpetuating the myth. The map also includes balloon-shaped Lakes Superior and Michigan. This is the scarce first state without a longitudinal scale at the top. Printed on two sheets, joined as issued.Louis Armand, Baron de Lahontan served ten years in the French military in Canada, was involved in the Indian Wars, and commanded several posts in the west. He traveled extensively in the Wisconsin and Minnesota region and the upper Mississippi Valley. Upon his return to Europe he wrote his enormously popular travelogue, Nouveaux Voyages de M. le Baron de Lahontan dans l`Amerique Septentrionale. In it he embellished his knowledge of the geography of the Great Lakes region, invented Indian tribes, and created several fictions, particularly the River Longue, which he claimed extended from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. Over twenty editions of his book were published between 1703 and 1741, including editions in French, English, Dutch and German. The immense popularity of the book resulted in his distorted cartography being accepted by several eminent cartographers who incorporated the ""Lahontan"" concepts into most 18th century maps.See also lot 773 for Kenneth Kershaw`s excellent reference work on the mapping of Canada, which discusses this map.

Gli Stati Uniti dell`America Delineati sulle ultime Osservazioni - Terzo Foglio che comprende Parte Della Virginia e della Carolina . This uncommon map is part of Cassini`s six-sheet representation of the settled portions of North America, now part of the new United States. Cassini drew largely from the Zatta-Mitchell map of North America. This sheet is focused on the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys, showing portions of Lakes Erie and Michigan at top; the latter with the note of Fiume e Porto Chicagou near present-day Chicago. The interior is identified as Virginia and North Carolina Territory, but it covers present-day Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and portions of Missouri and Tennessee. The native tribes are noted, and the forts and roads are located along with a number of towns. The map is decorated with a landscape cartouche showing a turbaned man lounging on the shores of a river. Lightly toned with original outline color.

Interesting sheet depicting the Red River portion of northern Texas and part of the Territory of Arkansas, which included a portion of future Oklahoma. The Atlas Universel was a monumental work and milestone in cartography; particularly the cartography of the American West. It was the first atlas of the world with all maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836 - about one inch to 26 miles) and the first lithographed world atlas. The maps (400 in all) were intended to be joined together, thus forming a globe measuring 7.75 meters in diameter. There was only one edition, published in a series of parts between 1825-27, and the subscription list shows that only 810 copies were sold.

Map Illustrating the Plan of the Defences of the Western & North-Western Frontier, as proposed by Charles Gratiot, in his report of Oct. 31, 1837 . This map is from the series of maps that illustrated the factious Congressional debate over the nature of the frontier defenses in the region between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. Issued under the direction of Col. J. J. Abert by W. Hood, the map depicts the states of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and the Indian nations bordering them to the west. It shows the locations of many military forts and outposts from Ft. Jessup to Ft. Snelling with notations throughout concerning lands ceded by several Indian nations with the dates of the treaties. The threat posed by hostile Indians, whose numbers greatly exceeded those of the area`s settlers, resulted in a protracted Congressional debate concerning the defenses required along the frontier. Gratiot’s defense plan uses color to trace the common roads and rivers. A table at lower left notes the distances between forts and the equivalent ""days of march"" at 15 miles per day. This is the later printing (ca. 1860) issued in the American State Papers. Issued folding with just a hint of offsetting and a binding trim at lower right. 15"" W x 21"" H .

Map Showing the Lands Assigned to Emigrant Indians West of Arkansas & Missouri . This attractive map was originally published in 1836 in the ""Report of the Dragoons under command of Colonel Henry Dodge to the Rocky Mts. during the Summer of 1835."" Because of its scarcity and importance, it was reissued in the American State Papers (ASP) circa 1860. The map covers the region of present-day Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, with the tribal lands outlined. An inset provides tabulations of the numbers of Indians and a listing of estimated acres of land assigned to these tribes. While it shows the Santa Fe Road, the route of Col. Dodge is not depicted. The map is based on the 1836 map that was prepared by Lt. Washington Hood. Wheat calls this ""an important historical map."" It documents an ugly phase of American history during the first half of the 19th century when Indian tribes were forced to migrate to areas outside of their ancestral lands.

A Map of the Sources of the Colorado & Big Salt Lake, Platte, Yellow-Stone, Muscle-Shell, Missouri; & Salmon & Snake Rivers, branches of the Columbia River . One of the most important maps of the intermountain west, it covers the present-day intersection of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. Wheat considered the map the best representation of the region during this period. It shows the headwaters of the Wind, Sweetwater, Green (Colorado of the West), Snake, and Salmon Rivers relatively accurately, and completely revamps the hydrographical mapping of the region. Part of Lake Bonneville is shown at lower left and is noted as Salt Water. The vicinity of the Snake River is particularly well delineated with the Three Tetons, the 3 Buttes, and the Great Lava Plain well placed. Captain Benjamin Bonneville`s explorations in the American West (1832-35) were made famous by the account written by Washington Irving. The expedition sought information about the Oregon Country, which at the time was jointly occupied by the United States and Britain and largely controlled by the Hudson`s Bay Company. Even though he was unable to complete his goal of reaching the Willamette Valley, he and members of his party were able to gather invaluable information on the region and blazed portions of both the Oregon and California Trails. Issued folding on a clean sheet with several short fold separations closed on verso with archival tape.

Map of Upper California by the U.S. Ex. Ex. and Best Authorities . This crisply drawn map covers all the American West south of 42 ° N. and west of the Rocky (Anahuac) Mountains, with by far the greatest detail in California. The cartography is distinctly pre-Fremont. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys combine to form the large Buenaventure Valley with the Rio San Buenaventura in the area of today`s Salinas River. The map pre-dates the discovery of gold by several years, but in the vicinity of Sutter`s mill the settlement of New Helvetica is located. Along the coast the mission towns are named, but there is no mention here of Los Angeles even though it was a self-sustaining farming community as early as 1821. The Colorado River is shown trending in an oddly straight course giving no credit to the Grand Canyon. The Great Basin, called the Great Sandy Plain, is crossed by Smith`s Track and is bounded east and west by the Colorado Range and the California Range. The Great Salt Lake is Youta Lake and the Salt River is called the Inconstant R. Interesting notes explain the unknown qualities of the land and another describe the Indians as ""the most miserable objects in creation,"" an unfortunate depiction. There are several extraneous creases adjacent to the folds, a few light spots of foxing, and a small dark brown spot in the lower right corner just inside the neatline.

Amer. Sep. Partie des Etats-Unis. No. 39 . This lithographed map covers parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming with the Yellowstone River along the eastern border, the Lewis River (Salmon River) along the western border, and the Missouri River to the north. It features Lewis and Clark`s route with notations concerning the hardships they encountered on the passage. John Colter`s 1807 route through Crow country is also shown. The map is based on the Lewis and Clark map as evidenced by the erroneous Lake Riddle draining into the Big Horn River. Several Indian tribes are located (along with their population) but there are no towns or settlements shown. The source of the Yellowstone River is noted as chaude et sulfurease (hot and sulfurous). There is great detail of the topography, with relief shown by hachures. The Atlas Universel contained 400 maps in six volumes. It was the first atlas made up of lithographed maps, and the first to present all the maps on the same scale (1: 1,641,836), with each map covering an area of approximately 20 degrees longitude (from Paris) and 6 degrees of latitude. If all the maps were joined together they would form a globe of 7.75 meters in diameter. The maps were published by subscription between 1825 and 1827, with each part containing ten maps. There was only one edition and the subscription list shows that 810 copies were sold; thus the maps are quite rare. Very light toning. 20.8"" W x 18.8"" H .

Washington and Oregon . A great map of the Pacific Northwest showing both territories extending to the Continental Divide and incorporating the region that would become Idaho. Of specific interest is the notation of all the major exploration routes, wagon trails and the proposed routes for the transcontinental railway as explored by Gov. Stevens. A few organized counties are confined to a narrow band along the coast and Wascopen, Skamania and Walla Walla are the only counties east of the Cascade Range. Dated 1853 but published circa 1857. Very light, even age toning. 14.8"" W x 11.8"" H . Colton, Joseph Hutchins . 1853

Johnson`s Washington and Oregon . A handsome and colorful map of the Pacific Northwest with Washington Territory wrapping around Oregon and extending south to Utah and east to Nebraska Territory. County development is mostly limited to the coastal areas. At the time of publication, Oregon was a state, but the county configuration here is only current up to 1856, when it was still a territory. Josephine County has formed out of Jackson, but their positions are reversed. Very little information is displayed in the area of today`s Idaho except for Fort Hall, the nearby Cantonment Loring, and an early reference to Soda Springs as ""Beer or Soda Springs."" The map locates numerous forts including Boise, Benton, Owen, Colville, and Hall. The important landmarks of Three Buttes and the Three Tetons are noted in the lower portion of Washington Territory. Faint scattered foxing and light soiling with toning confined to the sheet`s edges. 15.9"" W x 12.5"" H . Johnson & Ward, 1862-63

Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Part of Montana . This decorative map features the newly formed, but unnamed Wyoming. In this configuration the northwestern corner extends as a wedge between Idaho and Montana. Both Idaho and Montana show early county development. Eastern Washington is shown with only three counties while Oregon`s eastern portion has four. The map notes places so important to navigation, such as Ft. Boise, Ft. Bonneville, the Three Buttes, and several gold mining areas including Elk City. The Emigrant Road, or the Oregon Trail, winds across from South Pass, following the route of the Snake River and ending at The Dalles.

Plan of the Town and Harbour of St. Augustin . This uncommon copper-engraved map details the fortifications of St. Augustine with good information on the layout of the town and fort and the soundings in the entrance to the harbor. St. Augustine is the oldest European city in the United States. Juan Menendez de Aviles established the first settlement nearly a half century before the first English settlers landed at Jamestown. St. Augustine grew to become the Spanish center of power in North America for almost 200 years. Shortly after the publication of this map, the Seven Years` War ended with the Treaty of Paris, giving the British control of the city.

The finely engraved map delineates the counties, roads, and major towns. Hickman County dominates the southwest corner of the state, as it has not yet been cut down to form Calloway (organized 1823), Graves (1824), and McCracken (1825). Pilot Knob appears in duplicate in an odd cartographic error. Kentucky and Tennessee are almost always shown on the same map, so it is uncommon to find Kentucky alone during this period.

A Plan of the Action at Bunkers Hill, on the 17th of June 1775. Between His Majesty`s Troops, Under the Command of Major General Howe, and the American Forces: Engraved for Stedman`s History of the American War . This is the second state of the famous 1775 map by Lieutenant Thomas Hyde Page with the ground plan by Captain John Montresor. It illustrates the first major conflict of the two armies and is precisely detailed. The map was originally published by William Faden shortly after the battle and then appeared again in Stedman`s History of the Origin, Progress, and Termination of the American War in 1793. Stedman`s map is faithful to the original including the pasted down overlay map (9"" x 6"") titled ""No. 1,"" which is often found missing. Charles Stedman was an American-born officer who served in the British Army during the American Revolution. Stedman served under Howe, Clinton and Cornwallis, and wrote a history on the war with explanations of the military campaigns and depictions of battle plans. Stedman`s plan is nearly identical to Faden`s, with the key exception of the title. Faden refers to the opposition as the Rebel Forces, whereas Stedman refers to them as the American Forces. In addition, Stedman omits the attribution to Lieut. Page and Capt. Montresor. Stedman also clarifies the location of the British and American troops by identifying the rectangular formations with different shading. The map gives a vivid view of the warfare from the Charlestown Neck north of the Charlestown Peninsula to the northern tip of Boston. The plan depicts the locations and movements of the major players during the battle. Warren`s redoubt and several lines of American forces are shown along Breed`s Hill, adjacent to the city of Charlestown. The advancements of Brigadier General Pigot are depicted moving from the beach north towards Breed`s Hill. British warships are shown at the mouth of the Charles River. There is scarce detail within the town of Boston with the exception of the Corps Hill Redoubt and Battery. The overlay gives the initial troop deployments, while the main map shows the final movements and positions of the British troops. At bottom left is a lettered key giving details of the troop movements for both the main map and the overlay. Issued folding, now pressed with moderate soiling, some extraneous creases, and archival repairs to a few fold separations and tiny holes at fold intersections. There are two archivally repaired tears that extend 5"" into map: one is just below the title and the other is at far left about 1"" from the neatline. 16.7"" W x 18.9"" H . Stedman, Charles . 1793

Plan of the City of Boston . This striking plan of the Cradle of Liberty features excellent detail around the Boston Harbor.

Streets, bridges, and railroads are named. A note below the title indicates that the city`s population was 120,000 at the time of publication. The vignette below the title depicts a crowned young woman seated on an anchor next to an overflowing cornucopia with the harbor and city as a backdrop. North is oriented to the right. Printed by S.N. Dickinson, with the following note next to his imprint: ""This Map is a specimen of Plate Printing by a new process affording a third longer wear from a plate than by the old method."" .

Haverhill, Mass. The Largest Boot and Shoe Town of the World . This attractive bird`s-eye view depicts the city of Haverhill, situated on the banks of the Merrimac River. It shows the city at a time of economic boom, driven primarily by its shoe industry. Surrounding the image are 64 vignettes of public institutions, important factories and businesses, and a few prominent residences. A key at bottom identifies 26 public buildings which are numbered in the image. Folds into black pebbled cloth boards with gilt title ""Compliments of Board of Trade Haverhill, Mass."" Urban renewal during the 1950s-60s razed many of the downtown buildings along the Main, Merrimack and River streets, making this map a wonderful visual record of Haverhill prior to its post-Depression decline.The view was created by Oakley Hoopes Bailey who produced about 375 views during his career, spanning 56 years. After settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1875, Bailey focused his work on towns in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Bailey`s views are celebrated for their careful drawings and detailed indices offering a wealth of information on architectural and business information. Light toning along a few folds primarily where the view touches the boards along with numerous short splits at fold junctions. Three fold separations at left in the business listings just touch the neatline, and a 3"" edge tear at bottom is confined to the index. Covers are very good.
