vintage HIGH GRADE travel brochure: FLAGSTAFF Sedona & Grand Canyon 1956 w map

Description

VERY COOL
VINTAGE TRAVEL ITEM: from an amazing collector (more below), he picked up tons of stuff, dated them, sometimes wrote where he got them and then put them away, often never opening or looking at them.
THIS SPECIFIC ITEM IS——nice brochure “Fabulous FLAGSTAFF SEDONA & GRAND CANYON”, from the chamber of commerce, i show the entire item, i am sure i was the first to open this to take a picture of the inside.  one side has a drawn map of the area with a squaw (i am not sure if this is offensive today, but that is what she would have been called in 1956) and she is drawn a bit seductively with hands up behind her head and bare crossed legs. i love all the photo ads on the side like: The Frontier Shop with western style girl, and all the little places to stay, before all the chains took over everything, the other side has a drawn map of the downtown with a Native America guy dancing in the compass rose and some more great photo ads like the 66 motel, food town super market, Boice-Baker Firestone tire, Navajo-Hopi trading co.  what a time capsule.   SO COOL AND CLEAN AND NICE.  just the date stamped or written on the cover from when he picked this up SEP 2, 1956 and on the back where he picked it up METEORITE MUSEUM. there is a super tiny tear (see last photo)
can you find this item cheaper, maybe, can you find it in better condition, probably not, so you make the call.
This is
a original item from the collection of none other than Kennett Neily.
who is he you ask,  he was the man in the story below who sold the
famous “White
Mountain Collection” of silver age comic books, known for being in
amazingly clean unread condition and for having a date stamp, from when
the item was purchased on the first page inside, well he did that on just
about everything he bought.
WHY HAVE HIS COMICS SOLD FOR SO MUCH MONEY: CONDITION
In 1984 a man approached Jerry Weist, owner of “The Million Year
Picnic” comic shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a small sampling of
comics from his collection. This initial meeting was the hobby’s
introduction to what is now referred to as the White Mountain
Collection. Few collections of Silver Age books approach the
consistently high level of condition and page quality that White
Mountain copies possess. Weist would eventually become the organizer for
Sotheby’s comic book and comic art auctions. In that
capacity, he introduced the collecting world to this fabulous discovery,
offering choice samplings in Sotheby’s 1991, 1993 and 1996 auctions.
Many collectors are still not aware that the collection’s large body
of Silver Age publications also included a small sampling of choice,
early Underground Comix. It should also be said that most collectors
have yet to grasp the significance of that inclusion. For most Silver
Age collectors, the UG’s are the forgotten books of the period, and this
is a serious omission on their part.
AND
EVEN FEWER KNOW AB0UT HIS COLLECTION OF SCIENCE FICTION BOOKS, H.P
LOVECRAFT ITEMS (he published a zine called Lovecraftian Ramblings in
the 80’s), MAPS, TRAVEL BROCHURES, PORN, TV GUIDES, CAR MANUALS,
MAGAZINES, ART, ETC. also in amazing, mostly unread mint condition.
