Very Good book block and case. The jacket is clipped and fairly worn with chipping and closed tears. Remnant piece of tape to the inside of the jacket where it once held a mylar in place. Black and white illustrations by Albert J. Camille. Signed to the front free endpaper above a penciled gift inscription. First printing. 253 pages. 5.75"" x 8.5"". The Welsh-born Idwal Jones (1887–1964) writes chattily of his journey through the vineyards of California. He covers history, viticulture, and the pioneers of the American wine industry, long before the New World wine revolution. .
