Item description from seller

First printing. A small booklet listing in alphabetical order all of the heads of households and businesses in Jackson, California in 1949. Inside the front cover is the information that the data in this directory was taken from the official map of the streets and numbers recently adopted by the City of Jackson. While Jackson is the county seat of Amador and the largest city in the region, it was still very much a small town then (and now). In 1949 all of the gold mines had been shut down, and the tourism boom had not yet begun. However, looking just at the last page it is interesting to see the variety of names from the English Winterbottom to the Basque Ybarra, the Chinese Yow and Yep and the Italian Zuccone. 28 pp in stiff tan stapled wrappers. Includes a double page street map, a list of local organizations with meeting places and dates, the US mail arrival and departure schedule and the location of all the fire alarm boxes. Advertisements of local businesses. Fine condition.

Store description

Bookfever.com - the name used by Volk and Iiams, Booksellers- specializes in first editions of twentieth century literature, with an emphasis on women authors, African American, Native American and Latin American authors - plus mystery & detective fiction, science fiction & fantasy, poetry and children's & illustrated books. We try to offer many uncommon books, and have a large selection of first books, and books by authors who are less frequently collected. Of the approximately 60,000 volumes in stock, the majority are hardcover first editions, although we also stock vintage science fiction paperbacks as well as sf digests and pulps. We also have a large selection of books signed by the author and uncorrected proof copies. Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles. We have been selling books by mail order and on the internet since 1993. We have a large booth dedicated to books (called Books Upstairs) at the Antiques Upstairs Mall, 5 Main Street, Jackson, CA. (open every day from 10-5) The emphasis there is on Western Americana, children¿s books and inexpensive reading copies. In 1998 we relocated our main business from Sacramento to the Sierra foothills of Amador County, about 35 miles east of downtown Sacramento and between Ione & Sutter Creek. There, on 10 acres of rolling oak-covered hills, we built a "bookhouse" for our books. Call us at 209-274-6960 or contact us by email heyyou@bookfever.com) Our web page is https://bookfever.com/ Traditional bookseller grading used - fine is our highest grade (an "A"), very good is above average (a "B), good is average (a "C"). All significant flaws are described; dust jackets are protected by archival covers, and books are packed carefully for shipping. We welcome questions by email or phone.…
