Binding is firm. Else a very good copy in a very good- dust jacket. With early map of Falls Church reproduced on front and rear endpapers, frontispiece, subscriber list, Acknowledgements, Introduction by Omer L. Hurst, Author's Foreword, short essay "Home Town" by Harry Kinzie, Jr., two sections of b/w plates on unpaged leaves, Appendix (includes a Bibliography), and Index. There was a limited first printing which presumably has priority over this "trade" first printing. Early printings of Melvin Steadman's popular book are now uncommon and much sought after by those interested in the history of Falls Church, a prominent enclave in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC.
