HISTORY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
S. F. History Company, 1887. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Item #xxx043
1st printing. Original dark burgundy cloth boards with bright gilt titles on the spine. 792pp. Bibliography. Index. Maps, including folding map. Vol 32 of the Works of Bancroft. This is an ex-library copy which is actually in my view collectable. It has a period printed bookplate of the Sage Public Library of West Bay City, Michigan, on the front paste down given Number, Case, and Shelf number where it was shelved. On the back paste down is an unusual bordered check out pocket cut in such a fashion to easily slip in the record card from the side, and with the "EXTRACT FROM RULES" print on the pocket with the leading statement, "Injury of Books subject the Offender to the Penalty of the Law." Yikes! There is a cancellation ink stamp on the pocket and the card. The card had no check outs listed, so either the fine folks of Bay City never checked out a copy of if they did, these would be a fresh card! Two small library stickers adorn the spine above and below the title. Small edge chip on rear free end paper, else a very good, sound copy.
