International Automobile Handbook Thanks to Dan Proctor of London, Ontario, Canada we now have the International Automobile Handbook, published in 1927. Below is an index of the full 345 pages of text in this 3" X 5" pocket book.. Also reproduced are three pages of advertising at the end, and some hand-written memoranda by an earlier owner of this volume. (you can type Ctrl-F to search for items of interest) (For now, pages after 187 point to a common index page, which we know isn't the most convenient arrangement - we're working on simplifying the interface - suggestions for improvements are welcome!)
