BOOKS - "The Complete History of the San Francisco Disaster and Mount Vesuvius Horror.."

Sold out
Original Price $200.00
Current Price $100.00

Another of the collection Ronson Page and I bought en masse.  The full title is  "The Complete History of the San Francisco Disaster and Mount Vesuvius Horror:  Death & Ruin by Eruption, Earthquake and Fire"  1906

Very Good Condition

In Ronson's words: "One of the most salacious titles & cover illustrations I've come across, almost Grand Guignol* in its presentation.
This is a rare salesman sample, created so that he did not have to lug around the full tome.  As such, it only includes a few pages from each chapter, but plenty of illustrations.  Focus in this salesman's sample is largely on the San Francisco fire, not Vesuvius."
* For those that didn't know ... like me, Grand Guignol (pronounced "grawn-geen-YOUL") refers to the Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, a Parisian theater that specialized in shock horror theatre from 1897 to 1962. It's also used as a term to describe any dramatic or sensational horror entertainment that emphasizes violence and gruesome themes.
