The "Trader" Diary & Handbook/Garage Reference Book
1904 to 1940. A good collection of 28 quarto hardback volumes, all well illustrated with period engravings- advertisements, comprising those for 1903 to 1907, 1909, 1912, 1916, 1917, 1920, 1921 (2 copies, including one in modern cloth, possibly partially incomplete), 1922, and 1927 to 1940 (including a duplicate for 1937). The condition of the earlier volumes, which are clothbound, varies from poor to satisfactory; those from 1927 onwards, in boards with cloth spines, are mainly good, though the covers of the 1932 volume are worn. The early volumes were published by The Cycle Trade Publishing Company, the later ones (from 1920 onwards) by The Trader Publishing Company. (28)
