About This Item
New York: Harper & Bros, 1892. Despite the title, this book is a wide-ranging group of essays about California (there is no doubt of the similarities between the two Mediterranean climates). Warner (1829-1900) was a well-published essayist and close friend of Mark Twain. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of a Later Printing (one year after the First Edition) in a lovely decorative binding. Light green cloth, with a darker green for the spine, with very fancy gilt designs and lettering. Clean text; 226 pages, indexed; with four pages of publisher's adverts in the rear. Top edge is gilt, others rough-cut. Many, many illustrations. The FFEP contains an intriguing inscription, identifying the volume as "No. 1048" of the "Sheffield Friendly Union Library." Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Later Printing.. Decorative Cloth. Very Good Plus/No Jacket.
