What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work, with this copy being number 112 of 250 copies produced on Strathmore paper.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated with a tipped in frontispiece, and with three further plates. Collated, complete.
A fascinating volume collecting together 'forgotten material' first published in literary journal 'The Californian' between 1864 and 1867, a journal to which Bret Harte and Mark Twain made many contributions.
These articles provide great insight into California and San Francisco in the 1860s.
