Descrizione

4to., First Edition thus, with numerous plates on green stock, photographs (many full-page) in the text, 2 full-page coloured maps and patterned endpapers; original ivory cloth, backstrip blocked in red and lettered in white, comb-bound as issued, covers lightly spotted (as often), a very good, bright, clean copy. Originally published by Architectural Press in 1936, this one of the first ten titles in this wonderful series edited by Betjeman (see Peterson D4). In 1939 the imprint passed to Faber who replaced the characteristic comb-binding with conventional cloth and standardised the titles. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
