The Adelaide Almanack, Town and Country Directory, and Guide to South Australia for 1869
Adelaide, E.S. Wigg and J. Howell, [1868].
Duodecimo, viii, 124, [4] (index), 148 (South Australian Directory), [4] (index), 177 (South Australian Almanack Advertiser) pages (including the rear endpaper advertisements) plus front endpaper advertisements and rear cover advertising - but this copy lacks pages 169-76 of the advertising section, and the folding map originally tipped ìn at the title page (a small portion of the first panel remains as proof).
Flush-cut cloth boards rebacked, with the bulk of the original spine retained; cloth a little marked, with minor silverfish damage; a few trifling marks to some pages; a very good copy, rare in any condition. Our current average rate of handling copies of this item is one every 20 years.
Not least of its many attractions is 'The Farmers', Gardeners', and Vignerons' Calendar', revised by George McEwin (13 pages).
