Geology, New Jersey, 1897 Original NJ Geological Survey Annual Report w Maps

Description: Following the publication of the "Geology of New Jersey" in 1868, the New Jersey Legislature authorized a more extensive reporting program to the public. Annual reports which included summaries of progress and results of investigations were published through the year 1914 (beginning in 1915, annual reports of the State Geologist were administrative in nature). Annual reports for the years 1869 through 1909, including the volume on auction here, were published in the "Annual Report of the State Geologist Series."

If applicable, measurements of the large plates can be made available upon request. Across all my historical and recent geological reference book auctions, there were over 100 large plates so I did not have the opportunity to measure them all but will gladly do if you are interested. Note: This is an opportunity to own a long out-of-print New Jersey Geological Survey reference published by the NJGS from a time when they issued print versions of the State’s most important geological studies. This rare book is part of my entire expansive geological reference library (including many rare and vintage books from the 19th century) that I am selling as I approach retirement (please see my other auctions or search for “Geology" or under my eBay account "Rockman58"). *Please see my other auctions; I’m selling a number of more recent geological reference books and State geological publications, other miscellaneous books. Combining multiple sales of books for combined shipping is absolutely possible if they are purchased during the same week. Ignore the combined shipping price that eBay might show you, all they do is add all the shipping costs together - I will combine your purchases and quote you a revised shipping price. Thanks.***Please note: if you are bidding on a used or antique book. I do my best to accurately describe each book and identify any flaws it may have. If you have specific questions regarding its condition, please ask. I grade the books from visual inspection by browsing through to check for major defects but each page is not individually graded. Unless stated otherwise, some books will contain signs of wear and age which is normal within their age category. Note also that it is difficult to photograph slightly brownish pages of these antiquated references as my camera wants to correct that color to white; as such, any book from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s will generally have a very normal page browning even if my photos appear to be whitish or pinkish.*****I have highlighted the Media Mail option for maximum cost savings for shipping books; however, please note that those delivery times can be as much as 7-10 days, per the USPS, depending on your location relative to where I am in southeast Pennsylvania.*******Please consider All Sales to be Final, with no returns. Please be sure that this is the item you are looking for prior to bidding. If you have any questions about the content or condition of an item, please ask prior to placing a bid. Also, I can work with you to combine shipping on multiple auction wins to save you extra shipping costs. ****
