COVINA: Sunflowers, Citrus, Subdivisions
Covina, California: Donald H. Pflueger, 1964. First edition. Hardcover. Limited to 1,000 copies. A longtime professor of history at Cal Poly Pomona, Pflueger (1923-94) managed to avoid the small town boosterism endemic to local histories and embraced an enlightened and insightful perspective that contributed to the history of the entire region against the background of national and international events. Octavo: 372 p. with pen drawings by Dorothy K. Walker and numerous textual photographs. Original pictorial cloth binding. Internally crisp and clean. Very light rubbing to the spine heel. The dust jacket is a bit sun faded along the spine, with some occasional minor edgewear and a few neat tape repairs. A lovely copy of this scarce and much-sought-after local history. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #75017
