Laboratories, North Circular Road, Cricklewood, N.W.2, and not to the firm’s Lisle Street address. That old-established firm, Jonathan Fallowfield, Ltd., of 61-62, Newman Street, Oxford Street, W.i, have just issued their photographic list for 1935. It is a well-produced book of 122 pages, and is known to photographers all over the world as “ Fallowfield’s Annual.’’ This is the 73rd year of issue. The new edition follows the lines that have been successfully adopted for many years past, and the products of practically every well-known maker of photographic goods are mentioned. The contents are divided into five sections : 1, Cameras and Lenses ; 2, Enlarging Lantern and Cinematograph Apparatus ; 3, Plates, Films and Papers ; 4, Accessories and Sundries ; 5, Chemicals and Proprietary Preparations. A brief reference to each maker’s productions and the prices are given. The whole being arranged in alphabetical order renders the book of extreme value for reference purposes. Copies can be obtained from the above address, price is. 6d. net. Readers of The Amateur Photographer are strongly advised to obtain The Auto¬ car this week. An announcement, in which a remarkable map offer is featured, is made to motorists. The Autocar is published on Fridays, and is obtainable everywhere at fourpence. From to-day No. 202, High Holborn, London, W.C.i, is the new address of Mr. R. G. Lewis, formerly of 4, Gordon Street, W.C.i. His premises have been very tastefully decorated, and the im¬ pression conveyed is that of a West-end showroom rather than that of a photo¬ graphic dealer. All new and second¬ hand miniature cameras and material will be dealt in at High Holborn, and Mr. Lewis, who is in the happy position of combining hobby with business will gladly advise callers upon the merits and use of apparatus. A new " de luxe ” booklet, descriptive of apparatus at present on the market, has just been issued by Messrs. Allens Photographic Stores, of 168, Oldham Road, Manchester, 4. This will be sent post free to readers mentioning The Amateur Photographer.
