A salesman's dummy for a lurid and extremely popular contemporary history of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. This copy exemplifies the "fine cloth" version of the book, available for $1.50 from the canvasser (as opposed to $2.00 for half morocco). It contains forty-five pages of illustrations and well as a scattering of the text to be used in the forthcoming publication, followed by four lined leaves containing fifteen manuscript subscriptions.
