Printed Paper Covers. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Bulletin #11 of the Geological Survey of Alabama; pp 148 + small folding color map as frontispiece + folding chart at rear of the book + many, many full page halftone photos showing early efforts at road building throughout Alabama, including an interesting photo of a mountainous road in Birmingham, Alabama which I suspect shows the beginnings of a neighborhood on the northern face of Red Mountain - possibly Cliff or Altamont Road? Near what is now Forest Park or Redmont? This might also be an area above Five Points. Most of the photos show more rural roads; we also see photos of mining operations for gravel, limestone and other materials used in building these earlier roads. Book has a small rubber stamp on the cover (NOT ex-library; maybe stamp of a company library. I think it says "sociology department" or "geology department" - it's hard-to-read). Very light wear otherwise. Near fine or at least VG+. …
