About this copy
A handsome, substantial touring atlas of the British Isles, first issued in 1927 and revised through a long run of editions, with this copy presenting the complete section maps in a bold, legible style that still makes route planning a pleasure. The maroon cloth-grain hardback, with its white lettering and striking map motif, gives the volume a fine presence on any shelf of motoring or travel books. This copy is a sturdy hardback with its maps clear and bright throughout, and it includes the Republic of Ireland principal roads map.
Condition

- Good - the binding is firm and the boards are intact, with the expected rubbing, corner wear and some fraying to the spine ends. The maps and text pages are clean and legible.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
