About This Item

Moscow: Co-Operative Publishing Society of Foreign Workers in the U.S.S.R., 1937. Cloth. Very Good +. Uncommon 1937 Moscow travel guide, with very impressive plates and fold-out maps thruout. Solid and VG+ in its oatmeal cloth, with very light rubbing to the panels. Issued by the State-sponsored Co-Operative Publishing Society of Foreign Workers, this was clearly a proud undertaking where very little expense was spared. 1 of the 6 large fold-out maps ("Moscow-Volga Canal") is missing but all else is completely intact. The color plates (largely of food delicacies) toward the rear are crisp and especially striking. 12mo, part of the "In the Land of the Soviets" series from the 30s.
