Subject: RE: BS: To Good Homes - old and/or used books
Here are a few more offerings:

Guide to the Colorado Mountains by the Colorado Mountain Club, edited by Robert M. Ormes, Sage Books - Denver CO, Fourth, revised edition 1955, 231 pages including index. Several colour plates & B&W drawings/maps. Ex-San Antonio, TX library book with the check-out card envelope intact. Hardback, green. Handy size at about 4.75 X 6 or so. Very Good condition with only a little wear on the corners.

Vagabonding Down the Andes - Being the Narrative of a Journey, Chiefly Afoot, from Panama to Buenos Aires by Harry A. Franck, 1917 Garden City Publishing Co. Another of my paternal grandfather's, well-read, I think, as the spine and first two pages (a fold-out map in colour) are detached. Lower spine corner in torn, slightly, various other small bumps on the edges and a small water mark or two. Green hardback, 838 pages including many B&W photos.

Wyoming Summer by Mary O'Hara, author of "My Friend, Flicka," copyright by her in 1963 a Book Club Edition. A good read! Hardback, 286 pages with intact dustjacket which is printed with a full-colour painting by Charles McCurry. In this book, she writes of the real place, people and critters which were the inspiration for her novels about Wyoming.

Thanks!
