SAS City Portraits
(original series)

The legendary original series of SAS city guides was published from the late 1950s until the mid-1960s.
Each guide was re-issued at intervals with updates and sometimes slight changes in cover design.
The series grew over the years with newly-added cities to the SAS network plus some off-line cities.
Later series, with entirely different designs, were published into the 1980s.
