Item description:
|
|
This is one of the series of mid-century Travel Tips guide booklets published by the now-defunct TWA Airlines, for the edification of American travelers to TWA destinations around the world.
This particular booklet was published in 1956, only 11 years after the end of WWII, describes the post-war conditions in France.
"The black market in money has practically disappeared ... By way of warning: if your evening promenade takes you around the Place Pigall, the 'Pig Alley' of the G.I.s in 1944-45, you will be approached and receive invitations to any variety of illicit activities. It's all expensive and there is no one to complain to later if you feel cheated." (!!!)
Luxury hotel rooms in Paris ran no more than $10 per night in 1956.
The booklet also contains Mary Gordon's Tips for Women Travelers, which seem to be concerned primarily with shopping. She advises that women "bring a letter from someone important in the fashion world" to worm their way into the showrooms of the famous Parisian designers.
CONDITION: EXCELLENT!
This is a 127-page softcover booklet, in EXCELLENT condition, measuring approx. 5-3/4" by 4-1/2", illustrated with black-and-white sketches.
