IPC PIPELINES: IPC built its Mediterranean Pipeline from Kirkuk to Haifa and Tripoli in 1932-35. This set celebrates significant upscaling with the completion of a new 30-inch pipeline from Kirkuk to Banias in Syria in 1952. REPORT: colour illustrated staple-bound wraps 21x26cm, 33pp illustrated in colour and b/w, dated July 1952. This leads on the pipeline, stating 308 miles (55%) had been laid down and Kirkuk's facilities expanded to take an extra 14 million tons. Gibson, IPC's MD, reports on major expansion in the Basrah Concession, agreement to share profits 50/50 with the Iraqi Government (in contrast to the troubling developments in Iran (not mentioned)), and commitment to use 70% of revenues for agricultural development. Maps show sea and pipeline routes and operations, and photos show Iraqi royalty and VIPs, IPC top brass, and various activities.

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
