Black leather-backed printed paper boards (5-3/4" x 9"); 2-16, [25]-471 pages including ads at front and back as well as throughout the text and an engraving of the Sacramento Seminary. Rare business directory of Nevada organized by county, not city, and not alphabetically. Virginia City has no separate… business directory but rather lists each resident with his job, but not necessarily the employer. The first thorough directory of the counties included, and the first directory of the region after the transcontinental railroad. Owner ink name on front endpaper ad; a few scattered minor stains, but contents generally very clean; rubbing and wear to spine with the joints reinforced with cloth tape. Very Good.
