This item is California, An Intimate History, by Gertrude Atherton. 1914 Harper & Brothers. This is a 6" x 8 7/8" hard cover book with 330 pages including many illustrations. Overall good condition with wear and yellowing. One of the illustrations is present but loose. There is part of a bookplate inside the front cover. There is another, older book plate on the first (blank) page, as well as some fountain pen writing and a 1914 date.  There is a piece of velum between the title page and the illustration facing it. Some of the velum at the top has adhered to the illustration page. In flipping through a few times I cant find anything else worth noting. A great old book!
