Wurm, Ted.
Mallets on the Mendocino Coast: Caspar Lumber Company Railroads and Steamships.

First Edition ISBN: 0870460757 Gray faux leather. 134 pages illustrated by maps (including a fold-out); period photographs; schematic drawings. A history of the lumber company, and the railroad and coastal shipping lines it ran, all on the redwood coast north of San Francisco near Fort Bragg. A short but very nice company history. A clean, bright copy with the most minimal of extremity wear. The jacket is complete but it is lightly rubbed and has several tears, one of 2.5 inches, another of 2 inches on the top edges with some associated creasing, and all have been repaired with clear tape on the verso. Thus a rather marginal "very good" jacket. Hardback quarto Hardback quarto Near Fine in Very Good- Dustjacket
