NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY COMPANY'S STATION HOTELS
This is an interesting 6th edition soft cover copy of this travel guide first published in 1905. Since it is the sixth edition, I assume it would date circa 1911. It is loaded with advertising of the time for many different products and stores. The book also contains information on the rates and descriptions of the extremely luxurious hotel accommodations provided by the Station Hotels in Edinburgh and Glasgow.. The guide also describes the many sites to be seen in these areas. There are 223 numbered pages + more pages of advertising that are not numbered. The book is in very good condition. It measures 7 1/4" tall.
