Contents include an editor's page; editorial; a rotogravure section; and articles on how the states were named; the southern Nevada desert; the first California boundary; a biography of a California notable; Auto Club activities; and part of an 1876 account of southern California, among others, including a review of California-related books.

With spine brittleness, creases, cover soiling, page browning, folds at corners, losses at the bottom of the spine, staple tarnish, and small tears; and page yellowing and browning, water damage, and stains along the bottom of pages, the overall condition is fair.Lexicon
