Offered is the vintage book "The History of Travelers Rest", written by Mildred W. Goodlett and apparently published by the author. The book (also titled “Travelers Rest at Mountain’s Foot”) about the history of the community in upstate South Carolina (see photo #5 for contents) has a 1966 copyright date and appears to be a first edition. There are numerous black and white photos. This is a rare find; at the time of original listing I could not find another copy for sale on eBay and only two elsewhere.

The book is approx. 9 1/8" x 6 1/4” and contains 183 pages. It is in good condition. The green and black hard cloth cover has light to moderate wear, mostly on the back and spine, where there is some fading. The gold lettering on the front is still shiny but that on the spine has some wear. There is no cracking inside either the front or back cover. The white endpapers have yellowed and there is some foxing. A previous owner has written their name inside the front. I see no missing or torn pages and all are well-attached to the binding. They have browned slightly and there are a few small spots but this is not extensive. I see no writing in the book other than the previous owner’s name.

I have a lot of experience with vintage and antique books but am not an expert so please let me know if my description is missing information and you have additional questions. I will do my best to answer them!
