Vintage 1962 International Youth Hostel Handbook
Copenhagen V. Vcsierbrogade 35, DENMARK

This pocket sized book was used by a family member who passed away shortly after her trek across Europe at the age of 22, and has been packed away ever since.  We can only wonder about all the places she went and the people she met. 

Included in back pocket is a fold out full size map and a small strip of paper (see photos) with handwritten notes written on the back side of a portion of what was a catering results slip from a catering school. 

Printed on Map : YOUTH HOSTELS in Europe and the Mediterranean Area
International frontiers have been shown on this map purely as a practical guide for youth travel in 1962, and no historical or juridical accuracy is claimed for them.

Many VIntage Real Photographs of the various Hostels and places.

Date : 1962 
160 pages
Measures 5" w x 7-1/4"

Published by "International Youth Hostel Federation" 1962
Pages feature information and many vintage photographs of the various locations.

 

CONDITION: Stitched binding is still fairly tight, although loose at the back cover due to the thickness of the map being tucked into a pocket made from the cover flap. (see photos)  As far as we can tell there are no missing pages. Pages are clean, not marked, torn, creased or wrinkled. Overall in very good condition, for its age and having been across half of Europe.
The folded map shows signs of wear at the folds and corners of folds, but overall the map is in good condition, not marked or torn.

SHIPPING NOTE:  This item will be ship insured via US Postal Mail with a signature required on delivery so that your treasure is not left on your doorstep to grow legs and walk away, or get stuffed in a mailbox.
