Description: Advertising & comprehensive 60 page listing of London Social events booklet in paper covers. I believe this is rag paper covers with an embossed gilded hotel emblem giving the piece a high end feel befitting the Waldorf name. Excellent antique ads for hotels, rail travel, restaurants, the Lalique glass studio interspersed with the the 60 pages of a detailed list of the week's London activities. The booklet provides an excellent glimpse into London life at the end of the Roaring Twenties a couple of months after the '29 stock market crash (what depression!) Very good condition. Staple binding still tight. Please see the photos. I have seen only 1 other if these (from the 1970's). Scarce I think. Priced accordingly If you disagree make me an offer! Checked through Worthpoint ( a compendium of sales for 20 plus years across all auction sites including eBay). Surprising as the 1970's version is quite similar leading me to believe that the hotel has been providing these to its guests for the last 50 years plus. Includes a number of black and white photos sketches and maps. BONUS SMALLER 4 page cardstock agenda of the hotel's planned activities for 1929 Christmas Boxing Day and New Year's. Front of this smaller booklet also carries the embossed gilded hotel emblem. Some small staining inside (perhaps from the recherche dinner planned for Christmas day! Combined shipping available. Please see my other ephemera listings. Thanks for looking.
