A Sojourn in California by the King’s Orphan: The Travels and Sketches of G.M. Waseurtz
Edwin Grabhorn, Robert Grabhorn, San Francisco, California, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
A handsome volume in an original and free style such as booklovers have come to expect from this notable California press. Many conversations are broken; the nook is not harmonious in all its parts, although the combination of types is good. Its great qualities are the Grabhorns’ characteristic boldness and vigor.
