I REALLY liked this book.....If you are into history AND knives then this is THE book for you!!..It has tons of pictures and illustrations....Well organized....It delves into the economic situation of SF during the period (very fascinating stuff).... A lot of the info is from primary sources which is always good....It tells the story of the California Bowie and the industry surrounding it...The author is well known as THE KNIFE EXPERT so you know the book is legit...This book is a must have for any serious antique knife collector....Oh...and if anyone knows anything about the "schoolboy toad stickers" let me know!!.....I would like to get a hold of one for my collection ;)
