This is the first statehood brand book. Boards and binding in unusually fine condition. The condition of most of these is pretty rough as these books were meant to be used in the field by the cattle inspectors. This book has probably seen the inside of a saddle bag, pocket of a slicker and wherever else it would be stashed while on the job. As such, it is an artifact of the cattle trade as well as a book. A book dealer remarked about other copies that, Of the 5 or 6 copies I have handled in my career, all but one were in rough condition.
