Dorothy Valentine Smith, ‘This Was Staten Island,’ Staten Island Historical Society, 1968. First edition, first printing.
A large paperback full of old photographs of Staten Island, accompanied by contextualizing captions.
Top of book was slightly crushed at some point–top fore corner is bent down as pictured, with slight internal tear to binding, though all pages remain soundly attached. A few small stains to front cover, light surface soiling and very light reading wear. Great reading copy.
