The administrative separation of Burma from India occurred in 1937, this is the first publication since the separation. The preface states, " In view of the creation of the Burma Office, the title of this publication has been altered to, " The India Office and Burma Office List.", corrected up to the 1st of January 1938. There is the possibility that this edition included a map of India as well as a map of Burma but only the map of Burma is present.

Guarantee

We want you to be 100% satisfied in all your dealings with us. We are experienced booksellers who appreciate the importance of condition and make every effort to carefully and fairly describe each book we handle. To ensure this happens we take great pains to accurately describe the condition of our books in cases, such as antiquarian or secondhand books, where a condition description is required. If you see no explanation of condition in a description of a book, you can safely assume that it is either a new book or is a secondhand/out of print book in excellent condition.
