My Picture Book of Road Travel by Arthur Groom, illustrated by Roland Davies, Dean & Son Ltd, 1958. This is a nice example of a 10½” x 9” laminated hardback book titled My Picture Book of Road Travel. It was published in I think 1958 by Dean & Son Ltd of London and the book contains twenty pages that have been wonderfully illustrated by Arthur W Baldwin, and show popular / typical vehicles of the day, along with four or five lines of text along the bottom about that vehicle, or type of vehicle. The illustrations are great quality and among others they show an MGA, Tractor, motor-scooter and motor-cycle, lorries, emergency vehicles, caravans etc. None are specifically named. There are a few light finger-marks inside, by the bottom edge but no rips, scribbles, grazes or stickers etc. A name and the year 1958 has been written inside the front cover at the top edge. The glossy cover is in very good clean condition with no damage to the spine. It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important. If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating. If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out. My email address is I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records. Browsing ! Rather than ! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in. CONDITION. The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old. Some are older and some may be a few years younger. I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades! ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class postage FREE in the UK. They are not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them but for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay. DELIVERY TIMES. Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast. Many people in the UK receive their items within 36-48 hours of payment being received. I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you TRACKING NUMBER. If an item sells for more than £35, (or for a package that has a total value of more than £35) it will need to be sent with a Tracking Number - the Royal Mail's International Signed For service. This costs an additional £5 and that price will be added so that both you - the Buyer - and myself are covered under the buyer protection policy. PACKAGING . Please note that all of my items are well-packed in thick card or in boxes, and then wrapped in good quality brown paper. I do not make any separate charge for packaging materials - everything is included in the final price. Many of my feedback comments mention my good packaging and I will of course continue to meet my own standards. Payme... read more
