1948réf. 1215The Burmah Oil Co. Burma Trading Ltd Rangoon 1948. Fourth Edition. Softcover Perfect Bound. Very Good Condition. Book A very good copy of the first post-war edition of the guidebook including the map which has seen very little if any use. The "Fourth Edition" reflects the fact that this is the fourth guidebook that was issued. The Third Edition was published around the start of World War II in 1939. As the Foreword notes "For four years little or no maintenance was carried out roads previously good fell into disrepair bridges were bombed and destroyed and opposing armies constructed new highways" p. 1. The folded map printed in black and red opens up to 13" wide by 20" high. Roads are marked in red and designated "all weather" "fair weather" and "unclassified." Places with petrol pumps are underlined in red. The map is in excellent condition with three creases in the margins and only one 1/4" tear at the outside edge of one of the folds. WorldCat shows two entries for the book OCLC #250091811 and #19666339 with a total of only 16 libraries including the Department of State's Ralph J. Bunche Library the U.S. Transportation Department Library the Library of Congress and the British Library. Size: Around 7" or slightly taller - Duodecimo 12mo. 121 pages. Item Type: Book. The text block is tight and unmarked. None of the many Notes pages have any entries. The thin cheap paper has browned from age but is in good condition. The last three leaves have a 2" diagonal crease at the bottom corner not reaching the text. Green paper wrapper that has browned around the edges from age. About 1/8" of the upper right corner of the front cover is missing. The first and last pages are glued to the front cover so the first page is tight and the rear cover is creased where the page is no longer glued in probably because of the weight of the map that is in a pocket on the inside rear cover.
