I received a message from a thrift store owner in Bakersfield who came across something interesting. The first known edition of Salton Sea Story is from 1952 – I own a physical copy. What he has appears to be a ‘prototype’. Hand bound, the photo on the cover is an actual photo, taped/glued on.
I made him an offer, we went back and forth via email. If I get this, it will be immediately scanned so it can be shared with the world!
