History of Placer and Nevada Counties, with Biographical Sketches of The Leading Men and Women of the Counties Who Have Been Identified with Their Growth and Development from the Early Days to the Present; History by W.B. Lardner and M.J. Brock / Illustrated Complete in One Volume
Los Angeles: Historic Record Company, 1924. 1,255p., for re-casing. The textblock (including headbands and blanks) is very good, but casing's hinges are broken and its leather backstrip and corners are decayed. Preserved remnants of the spine panel show how titling goes. Endsheets are easily salvageable (but the book's marbling is inferior). Textblock printed on alkaline glazed stock; clearly reproduced period photos are scattered throughout the biographical sections; there are unfortunately only a few site pictures. A reading copy that could usefully be re-bound.
