'ROTH the R.A.C. and the A.A. have LP now published 1963 editions of their guides to touring abroad. To a certain extent the books are complementary although they contain basically the same information.
The two publications are named the A.A. Foreign Touring Guide and the R.A.C. Continental Handbook. The main interest for a commercial-vehicle driver will be in the comprehensive maps and details of hotels, motels, garages and so on. The R.A.C. include an article on breakdowns on the Continent, first aid hints, conversion charts and a glossary of technical and motoring terms in 11 languages.
Of doubtful interest to a commercialvehicle driver is information on golf courses (by the R.A.C.) although a size conversion table included in the A.A. Guide covering British, American and Continental sizes for such things as hats, shirts, suits, overcoats and shoes is of possible value.
Cost of the R.A.C. publication is 12s. fid. (7s. 6d. to members of the R.A.C.) whilst the A.A. book is available to its members only at 10s. per copy.
