Sobre este artículo
San Francisco, CA: Pacific Coast Blue Book Publishing Co., Pacific Building, Press of the Franklin Linotyping Co., 1915. Tall 8vo. 908 pp., printed on blue-tinted paper throughout. Numerous text maps, several maps, photo-illustrated ads, illustrated ads, Shell Oil Co. service station colour lithograph ads on rear endpapers. Limp publisher’s calf, gilt lettering on front cover, Shell gilt logo advertisement on back cover (ex-lib markings on endpapers, title, perforated stamp on title, chipping & wear to fore-edges, rebacked w/ renewed lettering on spine, linen tape joint repairs at gutter margins of endpapers), still a good copy, which was a Multnomah County Library duplicate sold through their Title Wave bookstore at some point. First edition, thus, of this surprisingly scarce automobile travel tour guide for California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, prior to World War I. This volume edited by Beck, combined the four different Automobile Club Pacific Coast Blue Books issued for California, Oregon, British Columbia & Washington separately (1912), with the 1915 edition including revised driving regulations, specific instructions on driving the Golden Gate, Presidio, the Univ. of California, as well as scenic drives in Oregon, Washington, & British Columbia. These Blue Books offered complete maps of every motor road, running directions at every fork and turn, with mileages, points of interest, ferry and steamship schedules, and extensive illustrated ads for all the potential motorist’s needs such as garages, service stations, hotels, and restaurants. Worldcat locates 2 copies (UCLA, U of W).
