The Automobile Club of America. Blue Book 1914.

Large 8vo, leather without boards, with gilt title on front cover, illustrated, 900 pp. Spine almost completely gone, covers worn and torn, and not that securely attached to book, a couple of signatures are a bit loose, normal aging; still a decent copy. Automobile of America books from this period are rather scarce, and often in poor condition. This book is the New York and Canada edition, and it is loaded with many attractive ads for resorts, with some in color. There are also a good number of maps, including those for Rochester, the Adirondacks, Lakewood, New Jersey, and a couple of folding maps of New York. The hotel and tour ads for upstate New York and New Jersey are really nice, and provide a historic view on what vacationing was likw early in the last century.
