"Ghost Towns: How they Were Born..." out-of-print Book

I have for sale the out-of-print, 1st edition hardcover book "Ghost Towns:
How they Were Born, How They Lived, and How They Died" by Tom Robotham
(1993). The book contains 128 pages of text as well as vintage black and
white photographs profiling the legends of Ghost Towns.
Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Ghost towns speak powerfully to the American imagination. These eerily
preserved relics of once-thriving western communities tell us something
fundamental about our nation's past-and about ourselves. They were never
quite like other towns. Even in their gaudy haydays, ghost towns were
slightly illusory. Their extravagant hotels, restaurants and saloons,
banks, newspaper offices, churches, and livery stables masked a fugitive
reality. Deep down, every resident knew that such a town might someday be
abandoned-voluntarily. These boom towns were created by a society so
distracted by the prospect of quick riches and so overwhelmed by the sheer
availabilty of building space that it could afford to throw the towns away."
The out-of-print hardcover edition is in excellent condition.
