    The finest copy I have ever seen of the first publication of The Book Club of California, and a landmark     bibliographical study.  The majority of the 250 copies have now found their way into institutional collections.     No copy is currently found offered for sale on-line.  See The Zamorano 80 #23 for more discussion.
