[ translate ]

Heading: (California - Sierra County)
Author: Newberg, Phillip
Title: Sierra County California: Playground of the Sierra
Place Published: [Downieville. CA]
Publisher:Sierra County Chamber of Commerce
Date Published: c.1940-50

OCLC lists only one copy of this promotional brochure, at the University of California Berkeley - there is a similarly titled listing, but smaller and of more recent vintage, at U.C. Davis. However, we have examined and catalogued a version with the same text and artwork by Newberg as the present example, but different layout, photographs and map, though the same size. It is not known which version resides at Berkeley. The present version was printed by the Holly Lithograph Co. in Burbank, Cal.; the other version at Oakland's Creative Lithograph Co.
Condition Report: A little rubbing at some folds, very good.
