National Geographic's Collectors Corner

Collaborative site for collectors, dealers, & anyone interested in our history.

Hello All,

If anyone would like a copy of the 1888-1988 Centennial Index, I have an extrra one here and would be happy to pass it on. All I would request is you pay cost to ship [Media rate is cheap!] and it could be done through PayPal, money order, check - whatever your preference.

It weighs 5lbs and comes with an extra 63-page pamphlet for the years 1989-1991. Total book pages = 1,216.

This is the standard edition - NOT deluxe. See photos. It includes many nice articles about the Society and Magazine, plus numerous cartoons, a poem, photos, lists, etc. This copy is the 4th printing, 1992.

Contents:

Lasting Value From Constant Change - Wilbur Garrett
Let the World Hear From You - Charles McCarry
Taking Up the Great Global Issues - Joseph Judge
The Future Is An Unbroken Trail - Gilbert M. Grosvenor
Milestones of the Society
Index to the National Geographic (pages 103 - 1,171)
Scientific Research and Exploration - Melvin Payne
Medals and Awards of the Society


The front & rear endpages feature a World Map, one in physical relief, the other in political. Also, the Index listings themselves indicate not just article names, but authors, photographer's, TV/Video presentations, Books, and Maps!!

Overall, very nice volume here, and well-made. Sturdy quality binding, shiny red and gold finish.


Take care,

Scott T. Shier
