1961 edition. Was part of a small private library (a jail in a town of 1,500 people) with usual library markings inside (some have been whited out) and two small labels on spine. Apparently none of the inmates were much interested in Louisana plantations - it appears unread, though there are a few small stains on the outer edges of the pages. There is a mylar cover over the dust jacket - there is a tear on the mylar in the back and a tiny tear in the dust jacket there. FREE delivery confirmation tracking number with every order. Fast shipipng from our non-smoking home. 2009AMA092 Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: "A careful study of the pages of "Louisiana- A Treasure of Plantation Homes," will give the reader an intimate insight into the nature of the "old world" influences carried here by settlers from France, England, Spain, Africa, the West indies, Virginia and the Carolinas" (front. flap).
