I was looking for something else, and found this. It's the Souvenir history & guide of the Pacific coast, published by Watkins & Griffin of Oakland, California in 1892, held by the Library of Congress. It's an old, faded pamphlet that's been poorly bound in hardcover, making some of the printed pages unavailable at the binding edge. Lots of ads, some misspellings, grand language. Not that interesting, right? It is, if you look more closely. I'll let the faded text, buried amidst the advertisements do the talking. I'll show it as clippings, color-adjusted to make it more readable. I'll use the page numbering used by archive.org to refer to the pages. I will leave the spelling and grammar as I found it, I think it helps to tell the story. Where words are clipped by the binding, I'll attempt to provide the missing letters. I'll put my comments in italic
Page 5:
This is the front page, I am guessing, of the original pamphlet. Notice "Oakland Cal" in the bottom right, and "Watkins & Griffin" top left, "L. C." top right. I like the colors.

Introductory.
This book is intended as a guide for people visiting the Pacific Coast from other parts of the world. It also contains the names and addresses of colored people, in several of the prominent cities of California. We trust that our venture will meet with the approval of both our subscribers and advertisers, without whose aid we would be unable to succeed.
Yours,
Watkins & Griffin

Look at the pencil marks; "Paid," and the month paid. I'd bet this copy, registered with the Library of Congress was the publisher's own copy, or one of its agents, used to ensure advertisers paid for their ads. This pages advertisers are from Napa, Oakland, Marysville, Sacramento and Woodland.

CALIFORNIA
The largest State on the Pacific Coast.
California , our glorious State has been the subject of comment for the past years by the people of the whole world.
Her Wonderful mountain scenery rich and fertile Soil, vast productions, even Climate which excludes us from heat and cold; her distance in length extending nearly Eight hundred miles, width nearly three hundred, Extending along the Pacific Ocean. Her beautiful Valleys, lovely Mountain chains bids fair to invite hundreds and thousands to throng to our Golden State from all parts of the World. When they once conceive the idea that while the in other parts are either burning with heat or almost prostrating with cold we are blessed with almost one favorable climate and that pertaning to the greatest under heaven.
The running streams among the mountains, & lovely lakes, makes her the home for people desiring sport. There is no state in the union posessing pure air such bright and fragrant flowers in dead of winter. Hot and Cold mineral Springs are numerous. good accomodations are usually given. Thousands of dollars yea Millions have been spent on repairing and fitting the watering places throughtout the State at the different beaches, which is a heaven upon Earth themselves.
The beaches are reached by Railway and steamer coast line making the faciltty good. Several new R. Roads are expected to be built in the state in the next few years, they have already begun to build from Francisco to Salt Lake City, another grand improvement is the electric system which will run through to San Jose by the way of Haywards and Niles a distance of nearly Sixty miles.
The Southern part of the state has struck a tidal wave of progress in the last few years which has made her famous by her wonderful increase in population, Los Angeles alone from 12.000 to 60.000 Frame buildings has been torn down and brick and marble erected, the streets which was once a mud puddle is now paved that a person may be able to cross, though it be raining without even getting their feet wet.
The Mining, manufacturing and commerce opportunities through the state are grand and enviting and will certainly make an opening for thousands to come. It is a history to hear the pioneer of 49 and 50 tell of their venturing fourth making their way to the State, their long and weary Journey over the mountains, around the horn, their struggles with the Grizzle bear of the forest and the hoot of the Owl by night. The hardships which they endured, is not yet known to many. But they shrank not nor faltered but fearlessly beared their bussoms to the storm to avert the destiny which threatened the country, they were about to inhabit. Their work is approved by heaven and cheered by the smiles they persevere, The Eagle of freedom Floats over one and all which was brought about by their united efforts and Palsy be the hand that would dishonor them, the days of 49 and 50 is in the relix of the by gone, time has changed from six months journey to 5 and 6 days in chair cars from the east to the Golden Gate. The day will shortly be at hand when every foot of her crops of Fruit and Grain will double, which will be shiped to different parts of the world, upon which thousands will feast and ever bless the name of California.

Note the red marks on "Strawl Wharted;" I do think this must have been one of the publishers' copy. Maybe that was supposed to be straw-hatted?
Our Metropolis City.
The Golden Gate.
Is universal known as the headquarters for People visiting the United States and Cal. from all parts of the world. She is noted for her great Shipping port. Her wharfs are always crowded with boats loading products for foriegn nations. Places of amusement and pleasure resort are too numerous to be named. The many thousands of people that visit the Coast during the winter in search for a more even climate usualy make San Francisco their headquarters. She has a number of first-class Hotels which are often crowded to overflow, among the largest and best is the Baldwin, covering nearly a whole block, situated in the center of the city, convenient to all of the theatres and street cars. She has a number of first-class daily papers with a large circulation and good patronage. San Francisco is probaly one of the best known towns in the US and was made famous by the gold excitement some years ago which brought out so many people until she has an inhabitants now of nearly 400.000.
The buildings are from six to twelve stories, among the finest and tallest in the city is that of the Chronicle, situated at the junction of Kearney. Market and Geary, is owned by that Strawl Wharted Hero M. H. De Young, editor and proprietor of the San Francisco Daily Chronicle, one of the best and largest circulated Papers in the U.S. Among her places of resort is the much talked of Golden Gate park, Woodwards and Cliff House, which are visited by many thousand people during the week and especially on Sundays and holidays. There are street cars on nearly every principal street in the city to convey people to all parts. Several R. R. are running into San Francisco from the north, south and east, bringing the products of the farmer which makes her one of the greatest commercial towns of the world. With the present rate of imigration which is so rapidly increasing our numbers, the day will shortly be at hand when she will rank with London, Paris, New York and the rest of the great cities.

A printer's smudge makes it hard to read some of these words. I make guesses, below. It's interesting how the author calls out the Golden Gate neighborhood; "At the north end of the Cable line is the much talked of Golden Gate through which persons are compelled to pass before entering the Metropilis city of the coast." I knew that San Pablo Avenue was the route to the east, from Oakland and her ports for the 49ers, but I had never considered how that neighborhood was the welcoming place for Oakland. It's now a predominantly African-American neighborhood on San Pablo Avenue
Oakland
It is the Capital at Alameda County, and for years has been looked upon as the best residence city of the Coast. It is only seven miles from San Francisco, for communication between the two cities, a boat leaves every thirty minutes on the Broad-guage and also on the narrow-guage making it possible for persons to visit either place every fifteen minutes, boats are always at either place to convey the passengers across the bay. The city is built upon a permanent berth; the Contra Costa Mountains sloping along one side which is a part of the coast and whose foothills are in the city limits. Her educational facilities are unsurpassed, Streets level; climate even, places of resort numerous, Electric, Cable and Horse cars running to all part of the city, also to Berkely and Alameda. Many new buildings are being erected, and streets are being paved. The flower gardens are never disturbed by Jack Frost or Winters chilling breeze, but on the contrary the yards are green with grass and smells sweet from the scent of Roses the year around. She has many large, beautiful and costly Churches, with large congregations. At the north end of the Cable line is the much talked of Golden Gate through which persons are compelled to pass before entering the Metropilis city of the coast. A large and Adaquate Theatre is about completed on the corner of 14th and Broadway it is a center point for all lines of cars. Among the hotels of the city is the Galindo where first class accomodations are always to be had.
