MÉMENTO DE L'AUTOMOBILE Petit Dictionnaire de Route. Introduction de M. Abel Ballif, Président du Touring-Club de France. Paris, E. Flammarion

[1907]. 8vo, pp. 336; with engraved frontispiece depicting radiator covers of the 15 leading marques of the day and 65 text engravings; lightly browned throughout with some minor foxing, gutter slightly cracked at title page, minor nicks to upper fore-edge of pp 315-324; contemporary red limp cloth, with decorative end papers, covers and spine lettered in gilt, head and tail of spine slightly bumped, joints and extremities lightly rubbed with some minor soiling; a good copy. First edition of this uncommon dictionary of terms relating to cars and motoring. In his preface Abel Ballif, President of the Touring Club of France from 1894-1918, praises the clear and concise technical information provided in such an accessible format, which for the subject matter, appears to have been a novelty at the time of publication.
