LMS Leather Bound Book The LMS Its Railways and Its Hotels. This beautiful, official book was published in April 1926 as a 'Souvenir Of A Visit Of Members of The International Hotel Alliance To The Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool and The Midland Hotel, Manchester (two of the LMS Hotels) as guests of the London Midland & Scottish Railway Co.' The cover is a light brown, soft hide and the title, along with the LMS coat of arms, is embossed in gold. A very rare book indeed.
