This antique book is leather bound.  It contains detailed maps and photographs of the Alaska Yukon mining gold fields, making it very collectable for those interested in historic mining. Although it focuses mainly on Alaska and the Yukon, it also includes sections on the Pacific Northwest including Idaho and Montana. The book is in decent condition for it's age with some fraying around the binding and a few pages pulled from the stitching. One of the maps has a slight tear outside the actual image (see Pic). The spine is still tight. This is an ORIGINAL with the maps (including the 6 foldouts) and book plate are all tipped in, making them easily removable. The reproductions have all the fold out maps placed in a pocket inside the back cover. Thanks for looking!
