Vintage 1950s Greenwich Village paperback pocket book guide/Ephemera/retro NYC/memorabilia/retro advertising/Village Map & Directory/Library Vintage paperback small guide book, map, and directory of Greenwich Village in 1959. It contains a guide to sites and interesting locations in Greenwich Village. Useful for researchers when they’re looking for commercial establishments that may have since gone out of business, the guidebook offers a historical narrative of the West and South Villages as well as then current commentary on the neighborhood — such as bemoaning NYU’s huge construction pit along Washington Square South, where the university was building the International Style Loeb Student Center (predecessor of today’s Kimmel Center). The advertisements sprinkled throughout the guidebook show us businesses that have long since faded into memory, but they also offer a look at a number that are still going strong today. It is 140 pages total. This is an ex-library book, as it has a sticker on the side with its location number. The pages are in overall good condition with no rips, tears, or writing, but the cover and spine have some water staining/discoloration. I'm not sure if the stain on the top right corner of the cover is an oil stain or mold, but I think it is oil since it went through onto the first page.
