Reference Books for Travellers

The Queen Travel Book (The Field Press, 3s. 6d.). This " reference annual of Tourist Travel," in its twenty- second year, is as good as ever. In a handy form for reference, the Queen Book covers a wide range of travel matters, from hydros in Great Britain to districts for Alpine flowers in Switzerland ; golfing centres abroad, foreign money, air services, and many other useful details. Even the names and addresses of English doctors abroad have not been forgotten.

Muirhead's " Belgium," by Findlay Muirhead and Marcel Monmarche (Macmillan, 10s. 6d.), is a guide to Belgium and Luxembourg, forming part of the well-known " Blue Guides Series." This, the third edition, maintains the excellent standard of the series, and is to be highly recommended to English-speaking visitors to Belgium and Luxembourg and the battle areas of the Ypres salient. Another of this series is Muirhead's "Normandy " (Macmillan, 7s. 6d.), which is also of a very high standard.
