Seller: WeBuyBooks, Rossendale, LANCS, United Kingdom
Condition: Acceptable. Most items will be dispatched the same or the next working day. An acceptable condition book. Severe wear and splitting to the spine. The textblock is on the cusp of good condition with the tanning relegated largely to the untrimmed page edges and very light spots of foxing throughout. Print remains crisp and unfaded. Lovely as a reading copy or potentially a rebind project of writing pieces from the 1800s.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. "This 6.5 x 9.5 inch, 228 page hardcover book is the 1927 reprint by John Howell as indicated on the title page. The copyright page tells how John Howell published the first print in 1926 and then added additional material and illustrations for this 1927 second edition. Ed Grabhorn, who with his brother Robert, had just arrived in California as young printers from the Midwest, designed the title page for this edition. This copy is in very good condition with the mauve paper covers still tight but showing wear at the corners. The spine is somewhat sunned with just a bit of chipping to the paper spine label, and some wear to the spine crown. The binding is still tight. The interior text shows some bookseller's notations on a front free endpaper as well as a previous owner's bookplate in the same location. Although these notations and bookplate are on the pastedown and front endpaper, neither obscure the illustration on these pages where there is a full volume illustration and description depicting Steamer Day in San Francisco, 1866. The frontispiece has the tipped-in facsimile of "The Californian," where the text sketches of the 60's are reprinted in this volume. John Howell was the eminent bookseller in San Francisco and in this volume he is publishing his own titles drawn from the rarities at his disposal. This volume does show shelf wear but overall the paper on the boards is in very good condition and the text pages are near fine. 228 pages.".
