Fascinating Ward Lock "Red" travel guide, dating from the 1940s. 3rd edition revised. Full of contemporary photographs and advertisements.
These guides are increasingly becoming collectors' items. (See my Ward Lock Red Guides website for more information about the series.)
Area covered : The New Forest, including Southampton, Winchester, Romsey, Netley Abbey and other parts of Hampshire.
Overall condition : Excellent, but see note below about wartime maps.
Maps : Because this was a wartime edition, the maps of Southampton and the Solent were removed for security reasons - there is a slip explaining this. All the other maps and plans are present and complete. They are in excellent condition with very little wear and no markings or damage.
