About This Item
The exquisitely preserved, signed, First Edition of Anybody's Gold is a must for anyone interested in the Gold Rush Era of California and the mining towns that sprang up like weeds in the hills and mountains of northern California. Signed by the author on the half-title page in blue ink.
Only slight soiling on boards, no stains, rips or dents. Dust jacket is protected in Mylar and is slightly soiled and yellowed with age, but with no visible rips, tears or chips. Not price-clipped but the four corners have been carefully cut not to extend out too far from the mylar. Pages are birth and clean. Hinge is tight. No other internal markings. Beautifully illustrated endpapers and 32 illustrations throughout book. Includes 3 maps, Index and Reading List.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
