Six pages of advertisements in front with numerous additional pages throughout at the end of each county, e.g., p.283-336 of adds at end of Sacramento County section, and an additional 43 pages of adds for San Francisco at end (p. 562-605); advertisements on p. 532-545 inverted and pagination reversed. Early directory of "all residents, with Sketch of Cities and Towns" with a "New and Prominent Feature...that every Resident Land-Owner in these Five Counties appears with the Number of Acres and Post office Address."

Interesting book plate on front board dated 1879-80 of a man atop a ladder brushing clean a window where the owner's name is written. OCLC locates only one copy.

for some as yet unknown reason, this directory is not listed in Quebedeaux. It is rare nonetheless.
