Why It’s a Collector’s Essential

Before the “Thomas Guide” became a household staple, the Thomas Brothers were perfecting the art of the regional road map. This 1932 edition is particularly significant for its triple-coverage, allowing you to trace the journey from the Pacific Southwest highways into the intimate street-level details of 1930s Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. It features the sharp, clean lines and classic typography that defined the early Thomas Bros. style.
