Green and yellow bevelled soft card cover.

The P. & 0. Pocket Book (Third Edition), containing 16 page illustrations in colour, 19 maps and plans, and 3 Plates of Flags.

This Pocket Book is intended as a handy guide for passengers by the P. & 0. Company's steamers, and will be found to contain information of general interest for travellers to the Far East. It does not profess to take the place of the Company's handbook which has been issued during the nearly three-quarters of a century, and to which intending passengers are referred for detailed information as to tariffs, dates of sailing, and general conditions regarding baggage and so forth.

It is hoped, however, that the Pocket Book may be found a useful companion en route. The written articles, plans, and maps have been prepared with much care. The Company will feel obliged for any corrections or suggestions that may be offered to them on the subject as a guide to a future edition. At the end of the book will be found some blank pages which will be convenient for noting facts or impressions derived from what, it is sincerely hoped, may prove to be, to those concerned, an agreeable experience of life at sea.

Half Title, Colour Frontispiece, Title, Prefactory Note, Contents, List Of Illustrations, Maps and Plans. viii plus 272 pages, three flag plates and  Memoranda section.
