Each water supply paper is an in-depth professional scientific paper on one or more topics. Most are illustrated, I typically do not list the illustrations and fold-outs. Please ask if you need more information for any paper. These papers measure 6" x 9" and are softcover unless otherwise noted. Published by the Government Printing Office, Washington D.C.
Some of these papers come in series, with one volume
printed each year for every location. They may be of greater interest
when the data can be compared across a number of years and I want
to assist my customers in this comparison. If you need help to find
the correct series subtitle for your locale, please ask - I will
need the name of your river or stream, your county and state.
Condition: Unless
otherwise noted, the papers are in Good (G) to Very Good (VG) condition.
They are lightly used with clean text and tight bindings. Most have
owner’s ID marks or stamps.
Lightly soiled covers and lightly bumped corners and edges are possible.
Spines may be sunned or darkened.
Individual condition notes appear with each item. Please ask if
you have questions or need more detail.
A listing like "24 plates
(3 in pocket)" means 24 total plates with 21 plates
bound in text and 3 folded in pocket.
