1938TB33789n.p.: Sponsored by The State of South Dakota 1938. First Edition. Fine in black cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine. An octavo measuring 8 1/8 by 5 1/4 inches. This may be a more recently bound copy. There is no indication of who bound it or when Missing its original dust jacket. The first edition of this guide is one of the most scarce in the collection. Only 2500 copies of the first edition were printed. 441 pages with index sectional maps to the state bibliography and text. Illustrated with eight sections of black and white photographs. There is no pocket at the rear of the book and the map therein is missing. Jeff Dykes in his American Guide Series Catalog and Check list states: "One of the rarest of the entire series." And Howes rates this title as "quite scarce". Previous experience with this title by this dealer reveals that another copy had a laid-in letter from the Superintendent of Public Instruction dated April 4 1942 stating that the state legislature of 1939 abolished the South Dakota Guide Commission and "distributed all unsold copies of the South Dakota Guide to the schools and public libraries of this state." The letter went on to state that the only copies of the book available for "commercial distribution since the enactment of this law were those in the hands of private distributing firms. We know of no place where a copy of this book can be secured at this time." Clearly a strong indicator of why this title remains so elusive in its first edition.
