Description
Third edition, giraffe with palm and eucalyptus illustration on cover .50 cents. Documents the founding of the Zoological Society of San Diego and the San Diego Zoo's early growth and development in San Diego's Balboa Park, including its origins in the 1915-1916 Panama Exposition. The Third edition illustrates the growth and progress of the San Diego Zoo. The guided bus tour fleet, "unique among zoos...." now includes four buses. In three years we have sold four printings of this guide amounting to more than eighty thousand books. This second edition also documents the growth and the impact of the expanded military in San Diego: The attendance at the zoo has increased steadily and with the local congestion of war installations and defense plants has reached nearly a million a year. Street cars, no longer extant, are listed in "How to Reach the Zoological Garden of San Diego." The second edition also includes a plant section for the first time, significant for its many varieties of palms and eucalyptus, species readily associated with San Diego. This edition includes a fold-out map attached to the back cover by Lowell E. Jones, Art Service Studio, as well as the Sketch Map of the San Diego Zoological Garden.
