This guide and map of the New York World's Fair, 1965 edition, was published by Martz Trailways, of Wilkes-Barré, PA. Except for some very minor staining on the front cover (see photo for detail), this item is in excellent condition.
It's outside dimensions are 2.5 by 6.25 inches, and folded out, it measures 16 by 12 inches. And folded out, it reveals maps of midtown Manhattan, the NY-NJ metropolitan area, and the World's Fair itself. Its side panels inform visitors of how to get to the Fair, by various transportation modes.
Great piece of nostalgia here Ted, I was a little girl from Queens NY so visited this fair a couple times in 64-65, made a big impression esp the rotating display of international children singing It's a Small World After All, and eating the stupendous Belgian waffles with huge strawberries & whipped cream. The large steel globe and tower are still standing to remind NYers of that shining moment in our history :)
