RB. 13 :
The Cigarette Card Issues of Godfrey Phillips.
The editing and collating work on this booklet was originally completed in November 1948 by Edward Wharton-Tigar, and published in 1949 as a limited edition, of four hundred copies, at a cost to members of eight shillings and sixpence. It had forty pages and eight illustrations, an overall number of two hundred and twenty-five cards.
This work was revised and updated in 2008, and reprinted with a hard cover. Then, with a nod to our past, it was given the new reference book code of RB.113.
