Has anyone seen this 1888 Sioux City Illustrated book?

The copy of the book the library of congress has has that as page 70. Seems to be a rebind with the original cover at the very back for some reason, or they just ordered the scans wrong when they uploaded them.

Looks like Google Books digitized a different book, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, under the Sioux City Illustrated title. And this matchup of title with electronic book pages was also picked up in the HathiTrust catalog and the Internet Archive. Ooops!

I think the information that Kronos found is good. Nice illustrations in the Library of Congress copy.

@Bookahtoo , do you have only the cover and the one map from the book? And the cover was used as an illustration? I'm a little confused about what you meant.

Since the cover has a rectangle at the lower left that says "Compliments of" followed by a rubber stamp of a ticket office, I assume this book was created to advertise Sioux City and could be given away. Hmmm....

 

Ok, this was the sentence I didn't really understand. But I'm easily confused.

Now that I read it again, I think you mean the illustration on the cover of the book was also used as an illustration inside some other book! Aha!

 

I like puzzles, so it's fine!

 

I'm reading a bookseller's catalog that is mostly ephemera and photographs. Excellent research and descriptions. They were selling this similar book -- about Sioux Falls, SD not Sioux City, IA. But still... asking $950. I love this catalog, as it's very well written and informative about the items. Guess I'm not going to buy, though.

Sending this only because it reminded me of our recent discussion here.

 

I don't know if it was a series or just a trend. Most series books would have the name of the series printed on the cover or inside. Or maybe the titles would all be similar. Not sure!
