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

By Lardner, W.B. and M.J. Brock

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.

Unpaginated, 10.5x15.5 inches, essays, chronology, illustrated with 26 plates, limited edition of two hundred copies in marbled boards over black cloth spine and paper titles on spine. Plates in lovely subtle colors, text-heads rubricated throughout; especially nice balanced presswork even on chronology and member-list, but of course all two hundred copies were going to friends, to worthy competitors and to customers. The spine label is faintly toned, foredges of covers unobtrusively toned from handling, completely sound, square and flat, a very good copy.

By Hoag, Charles C., compiler / publisher

San Francisco: Press of the Francis-Valentine Co. for Charles C. Hoag, 1898. Hardcover. 196p., b&w ads scattered throughout text; small hardbound item, gilt-titled white paper over boards backed by a wide dark-blue cloth spine, text printed smallpoint with glazed skyblue prefatory leaves bearing special ads in red and gold; 5x3.5 inches. A pretty good copy with these faults : a binder's error fastened ffep gutter to both casing and textblock (causing a tear and putting this free leaf at risk; rear hinge okay); cover somewhat handling-soiled; minor edgewear to margins of casebinding. In all other respects quite sound, and unmarked except for gilt-stamped cover ownership of one Lewis F. Byington (his family lists amongst "the socialites"). Fyi, the ads are pedestrian, though the terminal-endsheet corsets are necessarily breath-taking.

Our Town. Compiled by the Officers of the Landmands National Bank. Censored by the Officers of the Kimballton Welfare Club

Kimballton IA: Kimballton Welfare Club, 1920. 32p., sepia presswork on tinted alkaline paperstock, softbound, a 9.5x6.5 inch staplefastened pamphlet; illustrated with period photography, half of the town, the rest mugshots. Cover somewhat handled and crimped, textblock less so but has suffered a two-inch scratch to titlepage (slightly affects title photo). A good-only copy. Dated from remarks such as the war just being over. Presume that the "Welfare Club" is a Chamber of Commerce in vitro or in disguise. The "censoring" that it appears Club officers did was to amplify virtues of shops that bought ads ("The West & Esbeck Garage is one of the finest buildings in town and one of the most up to date garages in this section of the country" and just generally be silly.
