The Golden Gate Bridge: Report of the Chief Engineer to the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District -- California

WARMLY INSCRIBED BY JAMES E. RICKETS, THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE AND HIGHWAY DISTRICT, on the half-title. A tight, unusually clean copy to boot of the January 1938 1st edition. Crisp and Near Fine in its brick-red cloth, with bright, completely unrubbed titling and design to the front panel and spine. Quarto, lovely fold-out frontispiece (reproduction of a striking painting of the Bridge), dozens and dozens of black-and-white photos chronicling the construction of the Bridge and 12 fold-out plates at the rear. Truly a collector's copy.
