Subject: Flags - General

They are in a series, which covers many subjects apart from flags, that has the overall title, The Observer’s Book of [subject]. Published by Frederick Warne, London. Flags are number 29 in the series. Hard-back.

They are good little pocket books with adequate text. I would guess that every flag mentioned in the text is illustrated, mainly in colour, but some in black and white. The main fault is that the colour illustrations are not necessarily next to the relevant text.

It is worth trying to get a copy of each edition/revision. They are not expensive and although there is a lot of repetition, each one really has been revised and the set gives a useful sequence of flag changes.
