A fascinating look into the early days of gold mining

and gold panning.

This is quite a rare find, as a true first edition.

The covers for the salesman sample \"dummy\" books are different, and the ones you see for sale most often.

This 129 year old book is in quite good condition considering age.

Front and Back cloth covers are faded, bumped, and worn. Most of the interior pages are clean, but toned, with some soiling marks to a few. As you will see from my photos there are a couple of pages that are damaged... page 279 illustration has come separated from binding, and at page 148, only half of illustration is present. There may be more imperfections, but I did not thumb through each page of entire book. Books interior pages are overall tightly bound but there is cracking at front and back-end pages.

See all photos as they serve as part of the overall condition.
