CRESSY MORRISON, WHOSE AWARD MADE POSSIBLE THE PUBLISHING OF THIS BOOK!!)-- Here we what apparently was the personal copy of famous author and chemist A. Cressy Morrison, whose prize apparently made possible the publication of this book, if you can believe the author's gifting inscription. Mr. Morrison has not signed the book himself however, so possibly he never even received his copy of this book. The book is a detailed description of the coastal geography and geology of the northeastern coastline on North America from the Jersey shore north to Nova Scotia, and is illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs of the geological formations along the coastline of this region. I find copies of this book ranging in price from twenty to sixty dollars plus shipping but I believe the unique provenance of this copy is worth at least a small premium price.-- THIS IS A HARDCOVER BOOK OF 608 PAGES, WHICH MEASURES ABOUT 9 AND A HALF BY 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER--I AM PUTTING THIS UP FOR SALE FOR A REASONABLE BUY-IT-NOW PRICE WITH FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING, OR FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT YOUR BEST OFFER--GARY FROM HAUNTED MANSION RELIX--
