The New Hampshire Troubadour was a monthly magazine supported by the State Planning and Development Commission of New Hampshire and which was originally published from 1931 to 1951. It was subsequently published under several private owners and titles, most prominently as New Hampshire Profiles. (Wikipedia) — These small tourism and history booklets measure about 4 5/8 by 6 inches, usually with 16 pages, and when found single copies run $8 to $10 and more.
