Beschreibung:

[3]-60 pp. 19.4x13,4 cm (7½x5¼"), original purple wrapers lettered in white. Scarce catalogue. OCLC lists three copies of an 1898 catalogue of the main Wells Fargo Library, printed in San Francisco, and two from 1910, plus a few Supplementary Catalogues (all from San Francisco), but no copies of this Central Department Library Association catalogue from Kansas City. The leaf preceding the title-page has been excised; perhaps ironically, on the final page is a paragraph on "How to Open a Book" - "Open the volume violently or carelessly in any one place and you will likely break the back..."
