1998/1999 Singapore Street Directory

Ministry of Law, Singapore Street Directory, 19th Edition, Singapore: SNP Corporation Ltd, 1998, pp591.

As years gone by, this kind of guidebook became larger and larger (due to more roads and highways being built) but its paper became thinner and thinner.

The size of this issue is almost that of a coffee table book.

"The mystery surrounding both the Shroud of Turin and the Holy Grail has never failed to excite the imagination and arouse speculation worldwide." So said the first paragraph written on the inside of the dustjacket.

The author "shows how the Grail has been confused with the Chalice of the Last Supper,...." So what precisely is the Holy Grail?
