Unconfirmed year of publication. (see below for details) The Hand-Book and Directory of the Pacific Coast Issued in Sets of Counties. Santa Clara, San Benito, Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Mateo Counties. L.L. Paulson, Publisher, San Francisco. The full set of works will contain one hundred and fifty thousand names. The only directory ever published on the Pacific Coast in the Interest of and under the patronage of the farming community. Containing a full list of names of permanent residents, business men, mechanics, farmers and laborers. 447 pages. Missing pgs: 3-6, including title pages, 408-409, 441-446. Some discoloration spots (foxing) on inside pages but all content is legible and pages are attached and undamaged, except for first 2 pages, one is torn and upper 1/3 is missing (including page #), the other is page 8, which was also half torn along spine but is taped and full page is present. Some inside pages have slight wear on edges or bent page corners, as expected with age. At center of book are 4, cardstock, ad pages with inside spread a 2 page ad printed in color for The Shuttler Wagon with two great, color illustrations of P. Shuttler's Farm Wagons in use, drawn by horses with a scenic mountain prairie background (with Indian Teepees in the background). Incredible piece for early advertising collectors. Other classic ads appear throughout, along with color, full page maps of the counties named above. Monterey and San Benito County maps are combined. Original cover and boards. Grey paper with printed ads on front and back. Covers are stained and well worn. Cover paper is torn off in a few places but most ads are still visible. Edgewear consistent with age. Boards are attached. Binding is intact. Back board is split on outside edge but still attached. * Because the year of publication is not printed on the spine or cover and the title pages are missing, we cannot confirm the exact date of publication. However, the earliest publication of this that we can find online in digital format is 1875, and we have confirmed that while this book is nearly identical, it is NOT the 1875 Directory. On first full page in this book, written in pencil at the top of the page, Ron Lerch wrote the year 1874. We trust Ron must have found a reference indicating this was an 1874 publication. It appears this 1874 directory is NOT AVAILABLE DIGITALLY.
