The Butterflies of the West Coast by William Greenwood Wright. The Whitaker and Ray Company, San Francisco. 1905. 8" x 10 1/2" 257 + vii pages index plus 33 photographic plates, cloth bound Hardcover with no dust jacket. Bright gilt lettering on front cover and with gilt lettering on spine faded but still legible. Back cover has sun fading along the leading edge. Previous owner names, gifting and bookplate inside the front cover. Also a label stating that this was a review copy of a book that was going to be for sale for $4.00.

Some light sprays of residue inside the front and back covers on the flyleafs, from the top of the paper. I do not know the source, but it appears not to have effected the structure of the pap
