Interesting but seriously under-promising, the cover of this guidebook (circa 1955) does little to prepare you for what's inside. Each section starts with an illustrated divider page, beautifully illustrated by Michel Bouchaud.

Beautiful illustrations. I was just researching 1950s style illustration yesterday. Just how many books have you 'lost in the loft space?'

I'm sure this was the artist for my favourite children's books, also mid-late 1950s. It's a wonderful style -- and what a great guidebook!
