None of these books were sold or distributed as the visit was cancelled due to King's ill health and passing. My father printed them and they were instructed to have them picked up and destroyed. The only ones in circulation would be from workers during this process."Due to the King's death, the anticipated Royal Visit was postponed until 1954.Hard cover, Illus.
