Description: Vintage 1963 miniature BEA British European Airways British English French Phrasebook for travel in the 1960s and 1970s! Title is: BEA French Phrasebook For visitors to Belgium France & Switzerland This is a very cool gift for your favorite British Francophile, or linguistics fan, or old airline plane airway collectible fan, or just someone who likes cool old things! Could be a great gift for a father or grandfather for Father’s Day, or a mother or grandmother for Mother’s Day! It is a little book that seems to have been given out by British European Airways for travelers from England/Great Britain to France. I took pics of the index and a few pages, but can post more page pics if desired. It has page after page of French translations of common English phrases. It also has some details about BEA, and all their locations, and their travel routes. Copyright was 1963 so it is vintage. I am guessing it was actually given out in the 1970s, because the inside back cover shows graphic titled: BEA Group Domestic routes 1972/73 And the inside front cover has a graphic titled: BEA Group International routes and Associated Companies routes 1972/73 It is in good vintage condition, with some warping, some staining of the pages, some creasing of the spine, and wear to the covers. But I don’t know how much it was actually used! Approx size: 4 3/4” x 2 15/16 (almost 3”) x 3/8” Inner page says: Compiled and edited by FRANCES R.
