Bacon, George H. Booming and Panicking on Puget Sound
Bellingham, WA Pioneer Press 1970 First Edition Wraps Near Fine
Near fine copy of first edition in pictorial wraps, not issued in hard cover. Very light sticker shadow in upper right corner of front cover, old price sticker on back cover lower left. Unpaginated with many pages of 1930's Whatcom County business ads at the end of the book. This is a captivating memoir written in 1933 by an early settler/business person in the area now known as Whatcom County. The author came to this area to facilitate loans for business, residential and farm land. His investors were East Coast sources. The descriptions of traveling and doing business in this area in the late 1800's are captivating. Whatcom County has a history of real estate boom and bust, the author was in the thick of it here in the late 1800's through the Great Depression. As an example of "some things never change" in Bellingham, there is discussion of a residential zoning dispute on Eldridge Avenue! The author owned 40 acres and sold lots in the Bellingham area now known as Happy Valley, that part of the book is interesting. Bacon addresses why Skagit County generally did not experience the boom and bust real estate cycles that Whatcom County did. He owned land and businesses in Skagit County, but primarily focused on Whatcom County real estate. We specialize in books about Bellingham and the surrounding area.

Barth, John Letters
New York G. P. Putnam's Sons 1979 399-12425-X First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good
Fine copy in very good Brodarted dust jacket. First printing of the first trade edition in a fine Brodarted dust jacket. The dust jacket puzzles us. It has a 1/2" closed tear to the head of the spine, and is rubbed slightly at corners and edges, all normal wear for a large book of this age. But, there are score marks that originated from the inside of the dust jacket! There are four of these, one on each major DJ surface, very light at bottom, becoming more pronounced as the score line proceeds to the top. We believe that this was a production problem, but you need to know of these defects. The book is unread. It has gray paper boards with wide, black cloth binding, silver lettering on spine, 772 pp. There is some faint binding glue shadow on the back board, the top and bottom edges are sunned a little. Once this copy left the factory, it was carefully handled.
