A co-worker brought this to the office today. The guy has had it for many years and was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it. Looks to be a leather bound road atlas? Dating appears to be 1948. I suppose this could also have been a salesman sample display of road maps since each map includes the shell logo and familiar red and gold colors?

I had this in my Shell collection. Sold it last July. Don't think it would be a salesman sample as the maps were always free.
I thought maybe they were given to long distance truck drivers.

There are quite a few of these around, I believe Shell gave them to local libraries.
