[First Edition] NEW YORK CITY GUIDE Wpa [Federal Writers'...

DJ with light chipping. A handsome and tight copy with the rear hinge a bit tender.; This is the unstated second edition and probably the first printing. (ca. 1946) with the original publishing date on copyright page. Including 55 mark on copyright page. Dark blue DJ with light blue lettering. Grey cloth boards with spine lettering in gilt and black. It is identical with the first edition, except for the chapter on the World's Fair, that was taken out (as this was after the event). Black boards with sky blue cloth spine. Including VG+ map in rear pocket. Both WPA New York City volumes "New York City Guide" and "New York Panorama" were the answer for the surprisingly short mentioning of the Big Apple in the WPA New York State Guide. Originally 3 volumes for NYC were scheduled but only those two were published. From the jacket: "A comprehensive guide to the five Boroughs of Greater New York, offering general and specific information about the districts, streets, hotels, theatres, restaurants, parks, churches, newspapers, transportation facilities, the annual and seasonal events, and every other matter of interest to the visitor and resident in America's metropolis". Schoyer 410; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xx, 680 pages
