First edition. Octavo, pp 144 + 12 pages of advertisements at rear. Bound in the publisher’s soft wraps with decoration to the front cover and an advertisement for Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels to the outside rear. Illustrated with 12 photographs on 8 plates. Three folding maps, Central and Western District; a road map of Hong Kong Island and an attractive large map titled ‘Hong Kong and New Leased Territory ’.

More of an introduction to Hong Kong for visitors than a practical guidebook; the preface states that ‘This book has been written for three classes of reader – the stranger, the resident and the friend abroad. Thus it is both a guide and a souvenir’.

In Very Good condition, binding tight, slight wear at spine ends, clean internally and maps all in Fine condition, but the front cover and spine are tanned and a little marked. Scarce and with excellent maps.
