    Clearing shelves at home

    Second hand, soft cover, large format coffee table collection of Shell's famous posters through to the 1950's.

    Somewhat British focused and with 90 pages of double sided (ie a poster each side) reprints of posters in many styles. I bought this when it was published back in 1992 thinking one day i would separate my favorites and frame them. Problem is too many favorites and I prefer to keep it as is... So on the shelf it sat, across 4 countries and 9 houses...

    A dog ear and a wrinkle or two on the cover, but other than that in great condition.

    6-7/10

    Great to add to your automobilia collection, to frame your favorites for your office or man cave.

    $40 + postage

    This is a GREAT source book, for garage art!

    There's some beautiful graphics from Shell over the years, (it actually goes back to WW1 aviation) and I color Xeroxed them out to frame, and did not damage the book!!

    Check it out.....

    Is it too early to say stocking filler?

    Nope....this would make a good one!

    No one here works for Shell???

    You should just send it to Dr. Lisa Lilly, the fuel analyst in the mobile Track Side Lab!!!

    I looked all over for her, in Austin F1.

    Cute, a brain, a good job....I had THE RING in my pocket.
    Of course I have never seen her out of that lab coat...
