publisher's presentation copy

Rare presentation copy from the publisher.

Karl Friedrich Baedeker (1910-1979), grandson of Fritz Baedeker, revived the famous publishing company in 1948. The Russians had refused to grant a licence to their business in Leipzig and Karl Friedrich had refused to sell to the British or Americans and he moved the company in 1956 to Freiburg. With the 1960's boom in air travel and package holidays the company survived.

First edition; 40pp, one map, 5 floor plans, 14 sketches in text; publisher's red printed paperback covers, ink presentation from the publisher Karl Baedeker on inside front cover, publisher's presentation slip inserted loose with ink inscription on rear; a very good copy.
