Description: *RARE* Columbus and Columbia Prospectus Sample Book Antique 1892 MUST SEE! Antique copy - cover is very worn & cracking along spine hinges; foxing throughout pages, some small tears throughout, name written on front end page. Book has inserts on many of the pages that describe the complete book, inside back cover has alternate cover available. Really interesting copy. Please see photos. The first insert reads: "OUR COUNTRY'S LATEST AND GREATEST HISTORY This Prospectus or sample book contains nearly 200 pages of reading matter, engravings, etc., selected from all parts of the complete book, thus representing it fairly and perfectly throughout. It is also printed on the same paper in the same way as the complete volume. An examination of this Prospectus, therefore, will enable any one to form a clear and correct estimate of the great value and profound interest of the work, which is pronounced by all who have seen it as the greatest and best, as it is the latest history of our country. The complete volume will contain about 900 immense quarto pages, like those shown in this Prospectus, embracing an amount of reading matter equal to more than 2700 pages of an ordinary book. This comparison is by actual printers' measurement of number of "ems," and it affords a good idea of the magnitude of the work."
