There are diagrams, drawings, and photographs of houses with the materials, including some in Los Angeles, as illustrations. The name of the southern California agent, in Los Angeles, is on the front cover. With soiling, creases, browning, and edge wear to the covers, but generally clean pages, the condition is good.Lexicon
