The Ten-Mile Road Map of Great Britain, Sheet 2 of 2
The Ministry of Town and Country Planning supplies us with this typically folded, but sturdily bound map of the empire and was priced (at the 1946 publication date) at Six Shillings and Ninepence. Just thought I'd throw that in there to sound clever. In very good shape, it is a glimpse at Great Britain in that era. $19.99. #98660.

Handbook of Travel
This is an absolutely fascinating book on travel--unlike any other you may have seen. This book, put out by the Harvard Travellers Club, is loaded with information you must know if you are traversing, oh, say, the Arctic. What to do for a broken hip; local surveys; a plethora of charts in logarithm because it would be tacky to just make a left-hand turn; climbing mountains; and so, so, so much more. In a hand pocket book size, hardback, no dustjacket, good condition. All this vital information for only $24.99. #55834.
