Note that the book was purchased pre-numbered from page 1 to 596. Pages 143, 144, 149 and 150 are missing. Pages 138, 152, 168, 174, 180 through 591, 593 and 594 are blank. The book gives a good comparison for basic needs and prices then and now. Notice they seem to do a lot of traveling then but it was by train.
