                         Here we have a good or better for its age First Edition copy of this two volume set. This set begins with the early history of the valley, including the Indians living there that the white colonists slowly drove out of the valley. The book then continues with the more recent history of the region, followed by histories and descriptions of each county and town in the valley. The book is illustrated throughout with occasional pictures of street scenes and buildings and tons of portraits of prominent citizens of the area. Both volumes have a three toned colored frontispiece, and volume one has a colored map shows the counties of Massachusetts covered in the book. The bindings of both these books still have solid hinges, but the textblocks of both books are so heavy that they are threatening to separate from the bindings.The bottom of the spine of volume two has a chip out of it, but otherwise the gilt decorated bindings still look quite nice both on the table and on the shelf. I find copies of this set ranging in price from a little over a hundred to four hundred dollars plus shipping. This set is very heavy, weighing close to fifteen pounds, so please don't waste your time making ridiculously low offers, because the shipping alone is going to be close to twenty dollars to properly protect this set.--
