Mei Li Ba La Ge Zong – Tibetan Ecological Hotel (Yunnan, PR China)
Issued by China Post, and with pre-printed coloured 80 fen postage, this unused card is from a series showing attractions in the immediate Balagezong area. This one is captioned “Tibetan Ecological Hotel” in Chinese on the front, and while it may be both Tibetan and ecological, we stayed there and found it to be something of a challenge to enjoy. Grade: 1

Alhambra Hotel Leospo, Nice (France)
As a reminder, this is not a postcard. We are shamelessly “borrowing” the description from the identical item that had been sold by someone else, because it fits ours too: “This is an old, vintage Advertising Booklet from NICE, FRANCE. It is for the ALHAMBRA HOTEL LEOSPO. The HOTEL located on a hill in CIMIEZ / NICE. The booklet has 10 pages with great photos. It measures 5-1/2 inches / 14mm by 4 inches / 10.3mm. The booklet has no rips or tears. Minor wear on the cover. If you collect TRAVEL / HOTEL Advertising Booklets, ALHAMBRA HOTEL LEOSPO related items, CIMIEZ related items, items from NICE or from FRANCE then you might like this vintage 1930’s advertising item.” (We can see how that seller was also appealing to search engines.) In general, we call ours Grade: 3.
