"California of the South," by Walter Lindley and J. P. Widney (Third ed., New York: D. Appleton and Company,) [1888] 1896. The 335-page book has a red library binding with Lindley's last name, the title, a Dewey cataloging number, and the name of Los Angeles Junior College on the spine. The book is divided into part I on the climate of the Pacific Coast by Widney and part II, a general analysis of the southern California region, including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Riverside counties, by Lindley. Widney's section concerns geography, climate, commerce, roads, harbors, civic and country life, education, and disease. Lindley's contributions are more by locales, althought there are some shared elements of Widney's section. An appendix features sections on agriculture, animal husbandry, irrigation, oil development, railroads, and tourist information. There are many lithographs of local scenes as illustrations. Library stamps, pockets, and inscriptions are found within as is a dedication from Lindley. In fair condition, the book has cover rubbing, dented corners, cover soiling, cover fading and discoloration, moisture damage, cover stains, page tears, and general wear.Lexicon
