NAVAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION. Dodecanese. [OUP] for Naval Intelligence Division. October, 1941.

8vo. Original plum cloth, lettered in gilt; pp. v, 170, sketch maps, plates after photographs, folding panorama; binding a little sunned, three text leaves with short marginal tears, otherwise internally very clean and fresh.

First edition. B. R. 500. Geographical Handbook Series. - Probably one of the best-researched books on the eastern Mediterranean archipelago.

'A series of intelligence handbooks produced during the First World War had proved valuable both during the conflict and as subsequent reference sources. Early in the Second World War the Director of Naval Intelligence ordered the preparation of a new and improved series to meet the requirements of the day. The Handbooks were designed to provide, in the words of the Preface, "for the use of Commanding Officers, information in a comprehensive and convenient form about countries which they may be called upon to visit, not only in war but in peace-time; secondly, to maintain the high standard of education in the Navy and, by supplying officers with material for lectures … to ensure for all ranks that visits to a new country shall be both interesting and profitable"' (Cambridge Archive Editions, who reproduce a few titles of the series, online).

The director of this series Kenneth Mason (1887-1976) was a geographer-soldier, mountaineer and the first statutory professor of geography at Oxford University. Inspired by Younghusband's Heart of a Continent as a child, he conducted intense surveys of the Himalayas and was awarded an RGS medal in 1927 for his surveys of India and Russian Turkestan as well for his leadership of the Shakshagam Expedition. 'Mason also revitalized the links between geography at Oxford and practical service. These had begun with the RGS's involvement in the establishment of the discipline at Oxford and were fostered by Halford Mackinder and particularly his successor, A. J. Herbertson. Under Mason, with his extensive contacts in the military services, government, the city, and the RGS, the school consolidated its practical focus, linked to regional planning, surveying, exploration, teaching, and colonial service. A notable product was the Admiralty handbooks produced during the war when the school became an intelligence unit' (ODNB).

Provenance: From the War Office Library with their contemporary stamp on title-page, bookplate of the Staff College Library, shelfmark to spine and title-verso.

Pattern and roughness appropriate but still need to test
I haven't had a flat tire yet, so I also haven't had occasion to test these but they seem like great value for an extremely low price (especially versus a new tire.) I have handled them to try and gauge how quickly they'd smooth a hole, and they're rough / sharp and aggressive enough that I expect them to work quickly and well on not only tires, but on a variety of other materials. This pattern in particular should allow material to be shed and then passed backward pretty easily without clogging things up or slowing them down. If you've bothered to buy a patch kit for your tires, you really ought to have one of these around.

Great value, easy to use, and do a great job.
Great for tire repair! It fits in any drill in a snap, so you are able to ream the hole out in a tire so you can patch and repair the tire. My shop used these all the time, and never had any issues with them. They hold up well, and do the trick for just about any size hole in a tire. Great buy!
