Text is in wonderful condition with the exception of toning to first and last pages and edges of text block due to contact with the cardboard box. Those who are familiar with the name Stan Farwig (1930-2003) would most definitely associate him with the genus Calochortus, which is a group of flowering plants that include mariposa lillies. Together with his life partner, Victor Girard, Farwig was passionate about Calochortus, and the two men are accredited with discovering and naming the species Calochortus raichei. The pair were well-known for their enviable garden in Concord, California, the plants of which have since been bequeathed and transferred to the UC-Santa Cruz Arboretum. In addition to their botanical passions, Farwig and Girard were also known for their collection of unpublished opera, vocal, and orchestral music. Girard co-authored the book Vertical-Cut Cylinders and Discs: A Catalogue of all 'Hill & Dale' Recordings of Serious Worth...', which was published just a few years before Farwig finished this manuscript during their time in Philadelphia. We have found no evidence that this San Francisco-based mystery novel was ever published, and may have simply been put aside and forgotten in favor of Farwig's botanical passions.
