    These two old paperback books are titled "THE NEW GUIDE TO WESTMINSTER ABBEY" and "official guide to WINDSOR CASTLE and the Town and the neighbourhood of Windsor". Both roughly 5" x 7", my first two pics here show the front and back covers of each.

    WESTMINSTER contains about 57 pages including a section of various photographic plates and a fold-out plan of the Abbey with a marked 'tourist route', and is authored by "The Late H. F. Westlake M. A., Custodian of the Abbey". Pic 3 here shows it is dated with impressions/editions noted ranging from 1916 to 1926., its cover shows its price to be "ONE SHILLING AND SIXPENCE NET".

    WINDSOR CASTLE contains about 65 pages authored by WILLIAM MARCH, Inspector Of The Palace, and includes photographs and drawings with its text, also including advertisement pages for establishments offering lodging, restaurants and taverns, and retail shops. It is not dated, its cover does include a price of SIXPENCE. Pic 4 here shows its title page and inside the front cover.

      AnythingObscure, Cool.

      Had I been a Yankee tourist back in Jolly Old Pence England, and been presented with a price like "one shilling and six pence net," I might have been able to figure out that if I didn't have any shilling coins, but I had three sixpence coins, that should work as well:

      Of course, my brain would've hurt, and I would have needed some libation therapy.
