About This Item
Los Angeles: Graphic Press, 1936. Hardcover . Used - near very good. 8vo; 287pp. Bookplate of Californiana collector, John Patrick Ford. Additionally, tipped in is the bookplate of the author of the Introduction, Robert Ernest Cowan (not sure if this is his copy, or if he supplied bookplates with copies of the books, or at least ones he gifted). Residue of a 1/2' square piece of tape, front pastedown. Enpapers age-toned. Tiny stain to upper edge of front cover. The only serious defect is age-toning to spine, esp, with the paper spine label, the lettering barely legible.
