It is a  16 page 
pictorial history of the construction of this engineering marvel  from start 
to finish 
with only a ferw lines fo text but the photos tell it  all. I wasn't even 
aware the book existed. What a nice present!!! Also  included were a color 
postcard 
showing the viaduct from the air and a  newpaper article from thr Scranton 
Times dated Novemeber 6, 1915, the day  the bridge was formally opened.

I've seen it advertised for sale before. Does it state that it's a reprint  
or remake of an original that was produced when the bridge first opened?  
Needless to say most of the photos are from the glass plate collection at  Syracuse 
I would imagine.
 
Its a lucky man that has Santa come early, & on time too.   :)
