Interesting old non-Baedeker

31 May 2012

This looks like an unusual item for anybody interested in old travel guides, even if non-Baedekers. I wouldn't call it a "pseudo-Baedeker" exactly, but it is a 1928 guide to the Soviet Union, possibly not having the same attitude to exact and unbiased descriptions as those of our Mr Baedeker, considering that it was issued by "the Society for Cultural Relations of the Soviet Union with Foreign Countries" - but no doubt very interesting in its own right.
