About this Item

Grosset & Dunlap 1933 reprint of original William Morrow 1930 edition (the only indication that this is from 1933 is a mention of the printing of another G&D book--"Glimpses of American History" by Gretta and Berger--on back flap that was published by them in 1933) is in G+ condition, having some very light wrinkling to pasted-on spine paper; corners very lightly bumped and worn; this edition was published with uncut, deckled edges, so some of the page edges are a little uneven where former owner separated them with a letter opener, ruler, or some implement; from first fixed endpaper through frontispiece photograph of Bell there is some light staining to top of pages, and some light staining to last endpaper section also. Dust jacket, enclosed in protective mylar (mylar not pictured), is in very POOR shape, being in three sections: front cover and flap, spine, and back cover and flap, all with tears and wear to edges, as well as rubbing/scuffing (the latter duplicates on its cover the front cover illustration). Book is illustrated with b&w plates of drawings, paintings, and engravings, some old photographs, lithographs, and in-text reproductions. Edited by Lanier Bartlett. "Old San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, are brought back before our eyes as the veteran remembers back through the years from the middle part to the end of the 19th century"--from DJ.
