COOKS ESCORTED TOURS & Itinerary~Devon & Cornwall~1956~

Hicks, Wilkinson & Sears, no copyright date given, but it commemorates the 1956 Season, 22 pages.  This small, thin book measures roughly 5" x 7".  It is in good condition.  The interior is bright, aside from a name inscription "Frances Elson" in the front, some names and addresses in ink in the front, and some notations in the rear, which appear to be pub names. There are also neat notations in pencil on several pages. The boards show wear at the edges, and the front cover is detached for an inch and a half at the top.
