Some Useful Books
Of fairly recent date
The Commercial Travelers’ Guide to Latin America (with separate maps), by E. B. Filsinger. No. 89 of the Miscellaneous Series of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign Commerce, 1920, 592 p., $1.25, contains a vast amount of detailed information as to routes of travel and cities, large and small. With the correction of some obvious errors now proceeding in a revision, the second edition will be of immense value to the persons for whom it is designed, and highly useful in the home office. The maps, included in the low price, perform a genuine and needed service, though not entirely accurate.
