AA Road Atlas - a good buy!
Reasonably good map book. I live in Sxotland and some parts have a smaller scale, which doesn't please me that much. For the money though it is a really good buy!

A good robust film SLR
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this Canon AE1 35 mm film camera recently, having sold my original more than 20 years ago.
It is a solidly build, robust, SLR that is easy to use. It has no auto-focus, and you focus by rotating a ring on the lens barrel. There is a rather satisfying wind-on level, rather than the electric auto-wind on some newer cameras. Metering is either shutter-priority or manual, and I have a very slight regret that it does not have aperture-priority metering too. (I would need an A1 for that). Nevertheless it is just what I wanted, as it is a film camera that just feels right in the hand.
The camera that I bought had been recently serviced and had the light seals replaced, yet it was still being offered as "buy it now" at a reasonable price. It has no sign of the "Canon cough" or squeal with shutter operation. My lens does not have the silver "breech lock" collar and so is slightly newer than some. Some purist afficionados might prefer the older breech-lock lens, but I was just happy to get one in pristine condition. I believe that the he lens design changed soon after this camera was first introduced.
The 50 mm f1.8 lens that comes with these cameras is as sharp as you'll ever get. Ask the seller whether there are any scratches on the glass or signs of fungus between the lens elements.
Since I bought my camera it has fallen out of my camera bag onto concrete. It bounced with not a mark on it and still works like new. Built like a tank!
The later Canon AE1 Program also offered a truly automatic exposure function. These later cameras are slightly more expensive than mine, but I didn't need this level of automation.
