Around the World in 2,000 Pictures (1959)

Around the World in 2,000 Pictures by A. Milton Runyon and Vilma F. Bergane, published by Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York. This is the 1959 revised hardcover edition that combines the earlier two-volume sets Around the World in 1,000 Pictures and Around the U.S.A. in 1,000 Pictures into a single thick volume, featuring 20 maps by Rafael Palacios and hundreds of black-and-white photographs documenting mid-20th-century travel, geography, landmarks, and culture across the globe.

Condition:
Hardcover with blue spine and light boards shows moderate shelf and edge wear, with some rubbing at corners and spine ends, light soiling to boards, and general handling wear typical for a heavy reference book of this age. Interior pages are intact and legible with age-toning, many full pages of photo collages remain clean, and the binding is secure, making it a solid vintage copy for display, research, or photography and travel enthusiasts.
