This hardcover copy of These Are The Maritimes is the first edition published by Ryerson Press 1959. Most of the dust jacket is missing with the back cover and the inside front panel taped to the inside front cover. The book is wrapped in a clear plastic cover. The book is signed by Will R. Bird and the signature is guaranteed to be authentic. This book signed is very rare but an unsigned one is easier to find and a replacement dustjacket would not be difficult to locate.
