Pub Note:
|
Early bicycle guide. Phillips dates this as (1895). The large folding map titled "Map of California Roads For Cyclers" shows the state in relief, and is very attractive (usually missing in most copies). Bound with blue cloth covers with "The Cycler's Guide and Road Book" in gold on cover.
