San Jose City Directory Including Santa Clara County, Together with a Classified Business Directory of the County. 1898-99. Compiled by J. Benson Wrenn. For Sale by H. L. Miller, Stationer. F. M. Husted Publisher. San Francisco, Cal. Ex-California State Library book. 676 pages. Front leading pages missing. First printed page is title page with Table of Contents and Index on reverse, next page is a List of Advertisers with publisher Husted locations on reverse. The following page is the first numbered page, #13. It appears 4 page leaves or 8 pages are missing, most likely leading advertisements. Several cardstock pages are peppered throughout the book, one a surveyor's map of Santa Clara County, others are ads, most on pale colored cardstock, with some colored print. Original covers in excellent condition with printed ads on taupe fabric. Great California Art Glass ad on the outside back cover. Spine is original, but partial, missing a large strip and chips throughout, but the original spine is pasted to a replacements spine from binding repair. Repairs to binding and inside front board and hinge. All pages are securely attached and due to repair, new binding is tight. Inside pages are discolored and brittles with edge chips and some crumbling of edges, but it appears to be only the first few pages with any chips or crumbles. The rest of the pages have more discoloring on the edges and are slightly brittle but still intact and clean. Overall, this book appears to have been handled carefully, without stains, warping, foxing or water damage, just age discoloration. Great ads throughout. A nice original, early directory. Carefully inspect photos for condition details.
