Ads throughout on different colored paper. Organized by county, not city, and not alphabetically (Storey comes first). Virginia City has no separate business directory, but rather lists each resident with his job, but not necessarily the employer. Fantastic ads interspersed. Condition: Front and back boards are warped and front and back pages show signs of water damaged. Back cover has issues (please see photo). All pages are firmly attached. Crocker and Company, Sacramento, 1871.
