About This Item
San Francisco: A. M. Robertson, 1929 Hard cover, ex-lib, 8vo, in half brown cloth over brown paper covered boards, titles in brown to front board, and with printed paper label to spine. Lacking d/j. xii, 304 (1) pp., black and white illustrations with labelled tissue-guards. Printed at the Bruce Burrough Press, San Francisco. **Reminiscences of Chicago-born businessman, rancher and conservationist William Kent (1864-1928), who was perhaps best-known for donating the land which became the redwood forested Muir Woods Nat'l. Monument near San Francisco, California. He also sponsored the bill in Congress which Theodore Roosevelt would eventually sign into law in 1916, creating the National Park Service. The tissue-guarded, labelled silvertone frontispiece photo of Mt. Tamalpais has been attributed to Ansel Adams. The remaining full page photos are offset lithography. Condition: Very Good. Lacking d/j. Library marking at foot of spine in pen, label neatly removed. Ghost of rear pocket glue. Otherwise, the book is quite clean, and features some nice decorative typography on heavy paper which is but gently toned. One notation in pen opposite rear pastedown. OCLC 3138798. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.
