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.

Smoother skin in no time
I’ve been using it daily for a couple of weeks, and I really have noticed that my skin tone is more even. I had some dry patches and areas darkened by the sun, and they look much better now. It’s lightweight, but it provides good hydration all day long. For the price, I feel it’s well worth it.

Did not fade my dark spots.
This is an amazing moisturizer. I love how light and creamy it is. It goes on and absorbs well with a light fragrance. Only 4 stars because it did nothing at all for dark spots. While really sad about that I would buy again as I like it that much.

A bit thinner than expected
This body cream feels nice on the skin and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It is a little thinner than I expected for a cream, but it still leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The scent is light and pleasant too.

Lightweight daily moisturizer for the softest skin (bonus: incredible subtle scent)
Already repurchased, will absolutely continue to be a staple in my routine. Smells amazing, lightweight texture that easily absorbs into my skin, and leaves my skin feeling so soft even a full 24+ hours later. Incredible price for the amount and quality of product. Dove you did your big one with this one.

Just an OKAY Moisturizer, That's it.
I think this is a good moisturizer, as far as anything else it claims such as an even skin tone, I wouldn’t agree. I used the bottle and didn’t notice any changes in my skin and blemish appearance. It’s not too thick and it’s not greasy. I will say I had a successful run with brightening my inner thighs. I added this to the mix, and for some reason, I began chafing leaving Little bumps in my inner thighs that turned into 50-60 dark spots 😭 I’ve never had a problem with chafing or dark spots from bumps in my inner thighs before. I’m not sure if it because I was using it in conjunction with something else it caused issues. I would recommend it as a lotion, but that’s it.
