An "Excelsior Diary for 1928" for Los Angeles County Court reporter Sam R.Criswell. The item has almanac-like information at the front, including calendars for 1928 and 1929, interest and wage tables, population data for American cities and states and much more. The diary portion started with the purchase of the book in early May, although there are notations throughout much of the earlier portion, as well. Information tends to be in snippets and includes financial information and brief recording of work duties and time spent at court. With cover abrasions and rubbing, as well as interior soiling, the conditon is fair.
