About this Item

++A solid if not pretty working copy++ Biographies of California authors and indexes of California literature. Hinkel, Edgar Joseph; McCann, William E; TWO volumes. Volume 1: Biographies of California Authors and Indexes of California Literature: A biographical dictionary and comparative study of biographical sources. Volume 2: Biographies of California authors and indexes of California literature. Title Index and Chronological Index. Alameda County Free Library, United States. Work Projects Administration, 1942. 348+314 leaves printed on recto only from mimeographs of the typed originals. [++] "These two volumes . bring to a close a reference work in eight volumes on California literature . A 'Bibliography of California literature; fiction, poetry, drama' . was brought out in 1938, and 'Criticism of California literature, a digest and bibliography' . released in 1940."--Foreword, v. 1. [++] CONDITION: ex-library copy, with imprinted call number on spine and rubber stamped at top and bottom of textblock; paper browning but still very good. The good news here is the the binding is super strong, with reinforced hinges for continued and unworried use. There is also little bowing to volume 2 (as you can see in the pic). The net result is reflected in the price making this a "scholar's copy"--highly usable but not necessarily pretty, and a lot more affordable than other choices.
