I Love these mini Beal Brochures! The SSUS interiors are shown in magnificent color renderings  that occupy most of the booklet and the America is just covered with 2 b/w photos on the last pages. The is the later version of this brochure .. as  the ship is now advertised as the world’s fastest, and the maiden voyage is not mentioned.   Great condition, with some toning to the white covers and a small black mark on the front corner.
