Fair: lacks at least one pink advertising leaf, lacks two leaves from street directory, lacks four leaves from the preliminary text; covers detached, backstrip perished, gatherings shaky but holding; around 20 leaves detached.

This is an exceptionally rare directory of San Antonio, known in only three other copies. Alas, it's been through some rough times but still survives. As we share above, it's missing some pages but what remains is spectacular, including around 75 pages of display advertisements, a foldout illustration, and thousands of listings. Fair. Item #9699
