MY THREE BIG FLIGHTS 
By Andre Beaumont 
An up-to-the-minute human document, being the 
experiences and sensations of the intrepid French 
bird-man, Andre Beaumont, in the three greatest 
aerial races in history, all of which he won. He 
tells of his early training, the first stretching of 
his wings, and gives intimate and interesting de¬ 
tails of the navigation of the air. This is the first 
book ever published in which the aviator himself 
conveys to the reader the sensations of flying. 
Illustrated. Price $2.50 net, postage 20c. 
—ANDORRA— 
THE HIDDEN REPUBLIC 
By Lewis Gaston Leary 
Author of The Real Palestine of Today, etc. 
The first book in English about this smallest re¬ 
public in the world, high up in the mountains be¬ 
tween France and Spain. It brings the reader into 
close contact with a strange yet simple people 
whose government is the last relic of medieval 
feudalism. The rugged land, with its population 
of only 6,000 people, is visualized, and the history 
of the republic is sketched in with extraordinary 
vigor and charm. 
Illustrated. Price $1.50 net ; postage 15c.'
