On the half title page nicely inscribed and signed by the author pioneering WASP pilot and public servant who worked to found the City of Rancho Cucamonga Catherine 'Cappy' Vail Bridge 1920-2022. Very light dampstain barely visible to the lower edges of pages in the last two-thirds of the book. Otherwise a very good copy - clean bright and unmarked - of this rare local history. OCLC No. 124077721 locates only two copies at collections worldwide - at The Claremont Colleges and UC Berkeley in California. ~S~ 3.0P This case study offers a unique and comprehensive perspective on the founding of Rancho Cucamonga a city located just south of the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and Angeles National Forest in San Bernardino County California. From three formerly self-sufficient and proudly independent rural farmland communities a thriving and integrated city was formed through the leadership and organizational abilities of citizen volunteers on the city incorporation committees. Founding the City of Rancho Cucamonga is not only a tribute to the efforts of dedicated citizens but also a reflection of the author's education in the fields of political service and democratic principles gained through the studies offered at the University of California Berkeley and the Claremont Graduate University.

1939793L42London: Chatto and Windus 1939. Fine Binding. Near Fine. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A smartly bound early edition of Ann Bridge's novel 'Four-Part Setting'. From the library of socialite and patron of the arts Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie. Printed a year after the true first edition.Ann Bridge is the pseudonym of Mary Ann Dolling Lady O'Malley. She is also known as Cottie Sanders. Her novels are mostly based on her own experiences of living in foreign countries. This novel is set 'in the China of a decade ago; it bears no relation to the conditions existing today' Note to the start of the book. From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie Audrey Evelyn James Coats and Audrey Evelyn James Field at Julian"s Park. Pleydell-Bouverie was the youngest daughter of an Anglo-American lumber and steel millionaire. Audrey was also alleged to be the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII although she was also rumoured to be his daugher or the lover of King Edward VIII. She bought Julians Park in 1940 following her third marriage to the Hon Peter Pleydell-Bouverie. Her circle of friends included Winston Churchill Coco Chanel and Nancy Mitford. She was featured in Cecil Beaton's 'Book of Beauty' and was regarded as one of the Bright Young Things.Audrey was a patron of the arts and it is believed that she bound several books herself as many books from her library were stamped with her name and she owned a group of bookbinding tools. This book is bound in a similar style to other works from her library that contained the binder's stamp 'Audrey Field' to the front pastedown. This book does not bear such a stamp.

Pages are bright. Heavy spotting to the fore-edge. Occasional light spots to pages. Near Fine Chatto and Windus unknown
