The Road of a Thousand Wonders Book-Southern Pacific RR

Item Details

Description

This book is the first edition of The Road of a Thousand Wonders, published in 1907 for the passenger department of the Southern Pacific Railroad in San Francisco, CA. The book has well over 100 colored photos on 72 pages, covering the Coast Line-Shasta Route from Los Angeles to Portland over their 1,300 mile route. The inside pages are excellent. The cover is in average shape, with some tears and frays at the edges and folds, and some small missing pieces. First editions are very difficult to find of the publication, and are quite rare in any condition.
