The Handbook of Monterey and Vicinity..., Edwin Emmet Curtis, published by Walton & Curtis, July, 1875. Not Listed in Quebedeaux, nor does he list any single Monterey County Directory or History. 5 x 5 5/8", 152pp plus covers, soft cover. Advertisements are paginated as part of the book, and placed in back. A form of Chinese directory is found on pp 49-50. Discussed are mineral springs, coal mines and much on the town history and cultures. The directory portion is pp91-96, with further discussion of outlaying areas of the county in pages following the directory. I (fh) was unable to find out "why" this rare work is not included in Quebedeaux. The Humboldt "first directory" is but 2 pages, with this at 6pp. Both books have important historical discussions not found elsewhere in prior works.
