24 pages including printed wraps. 8 x 11.5. This is a used antique magazine. Please study the photos for the best description of condition. Loosely string bound, no covers. As such the quality of the plates is very good. First illustration titled “First View Of The Sierras By California Pioneers”. The plate depicting the Columbia River from a photo by Watkins is exceptionally nice. The text content is charming as well. There is a nice write up and engraving of a popular California Author. Some other California content, such as an Ode to the original pioneers. Some fun children’s content as well. Worldcat shows only five institutional holdings. Cover is a bit dirty. I did not see any writing or markings. Overall near very good condition. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Story of the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire. The Partially Destroyed Metropolis Now Being Rebuilt, in California Magazine. (The Travelers’ Blue Book). Los Angeles: Blue Book Publishing, 1906. A good copy, wrappers damp stained and torn, with small chips at corners, first dozen leaves damp stained along inner and outer margins, else clean. No 3 New Series, Vol. Known as the Traveler’s Blue Book through March 1906. While the main article by C. Beauregard Poland contains eight photographs of the devastation and reports on the quake, an accompanying map of California, superimposed over the eastern midwest, attempts to allay any fears about moving to California by illustrating just how large the state is. There is no need to worry. An earthquake in San Francisco does not affect Los Angeles. Did it ever occur to you? That California is the ideal state of homes, happiness and prosperity? That the climate of California is so nice the year round that one can work out of doors all the time? … Land can be bought… Other articles promote other regions of California. OCLC locates no copies of this issue, and only two institutional holdings of the old and/or new series, Yale, and Huntington, but neither containing this issue. Fine, Rare, & Unusual Books and Manuscripts. With a special emphasis on the Americas. We are located on Parker Mountain, in the small town of East Jewett, set in the High Peaks region of the Northern Catskill Mountains, not far from the tallest waterfall in New York State, after which we are named. Though our special focus is on the Americas -North, Central, and South, we offer fine, rare, and unusual books and manuscripts on a wide range of subjects, including Asia, Exploration, Art, Literature, and Books about Books. We are proud to be a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA) and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB) and adhere to their strict codes of conduct and ethical standards.
