Offizieller Führer Des Deutschen Automobil-Clubs.
Karl Baedeker, Leipzig 1939
Scarce war issue with map. This second edition published shortly after the first (1938).
There were two versions of this edition published: a) to club members with club insignia and the word 'Clubausgabe' on the title page, and b) copies to the general public without insignia etc. present. This volume is the first version with the 'Clubausgabe' on the titlepage. Austria is also included in this volume, along with the Sudetenland, which had been annexed by Germany and named 'The Proctectorate of Bohemia and Moravia' and the Memel territory which was regained from Lithuania. This copy also contains the extremely rare general road map issued by DDAC which was issued loose with the book but is usually missing. Endpapers dated 'Januar 1939'.
Second edition. xxx, 813pp, 70 town plans, large folding coloured map (Strassenzustandskarte von Deutschland) dated Sommer 1939 attached loose; publisher's variant coarse-grained binding, gilt lettering bright, spine slightly faded and worn; a very good copy.
