"The Shell-Mex and BP "Shilling Guides" were published into the early 1960s.
They were purchased at only Shell or BP service stations, were each given a separate commissioned artwork cover, these being by a wide variety of artists and designers. This splendid landscape view shows Surrey less as a commuter county for London but as a country retreat with the marvellous landscape of the Downs.
It is by the well known and expert landscape painter S R Badmin. The image had been used by Shell in their County Guides series of press adverts."
The book is showing signs of age with a few marks on the inside pages.
