About This Item
Fresno: H. Tober, 1929. About very good.. [8],151pp. plus plates. Quarto. Original printed wrappers. Light wear, some chipping to spine and edges of wrappers. Internally clean. Rare German-Californian periodical, featuring an almanac, calendars of events around the state, travel articles, cartoons, and numerous local advertisements for the German-speaking population of California. One article is entitled "Der Islam als internationale Religion" ("Islam as an International Religion"), with the subtitle "Views of Educated Mohammedans." Yet another article is all about divining from variations in one's hand shape. There are photos of American Indians on parade in Vienna, the Prince and Princess of Japan, and a large zeppelin one can take to travel from Germany. Though presumably an annual, all copies located in OCLC are for this year -- we locate three copies, at California State University, the University of Cincinnati, and the National Library of Germany.
