Shell Guides

Sir: Do please go on urging that the Shell County Guides be continued (Richard Ingrams, Diary, 12 October). They are complementary to the Pevsner county guides. The photographs, for armchair travel, are often perfectly wonderful. And they haven't done Yorkshire yet, that I know of. Or Somerset.
