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 lacking the folding map originally tipped in on the title page.
Flush-cut cloth boards rebacked, with the bulk of the original spine retained; extremities a little rubbed; cloth a little marked, with minor silverfish damage; top corner neatly trimmed from the last half of the book, with a shallow piece neatly scalloped out of the top margin of the last 50 leaves (well clear of the printed surface in all instances); a very good copy.
The Farmers', Gardeners', and Vignerons' Calendar, revised by George McEwin, runs to 13 pages.
