Sm. 8vo., Fifty-Fourth Edition, with plates, and plans in the text; original series binding of red cloth, covers and backstrip printed in black, radial corners, backstrip mildly sunned, upper hinge tender else a very good, bright, clean copy. With front and rear endpaper trade advertisements. Tipped-in is the publisher's printed disclaimer slip 'owing to the Control of Maps Order and other exigencies of the situation, it is not at present possible to include the customary complete set of maps and plan in this Guide'. The COM Order 1940 banned commercial publication of maps and plans on a scale greater than one inch to one mile and therefore of likely use to the enemy. In this edition the omissions include virtually all the folding maps, retaining only the plan of London termini and double-page plan of Hyde Park.
