2 Vols: Canoe Country/Showshoe Country Florence Page Jaques Vintage HC

This 2-volume set includes 'Canoe Country' and 'Showshoe Country' written by Florence Page Jaques and published by The University of Minnesota Press in 1964. 'Canoe Country' is in its sixth printing, and 'Showshoe Country' is in its fourth printing. The books are in good condition. Both covers have some wear like soiling, staining, and scuffing. 'Canoe Country' is slightly tilted. The text blocks are discolored due to age, and the pastedowns and free ends have some discoloration and staining from the binding glue. There's script in the front free-end/pastedown of both books. The front pastedown and free-endpaper of 'Snowshoe Country' are tearing apart. The pages are slightly yellowed but are bright, clean, intact, and legible. The bindings are tight and sturdy.

These books are great for reading and collecting. To use them, simply open the pages and start exploring the stories. When handling, wash your hands first to avoid adding more stains. Store them in a dry and cool place to prevent further discoloration. If you want to display them, use a bookend to keep the binding tight. Be gentle when turning the pages, especially the ones in 'Snowshoe Country' where the front pastedown and free - endpaper are tearing. Regularly check on them for any signs of deterioration and adjust the storage conditions as needed.
