What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

This 1883 geological guidebook to London takes the reader through various different districts of London and discusses their geological features. Areas such as Hampstead, Wandsworth, Clapham, Ilford, Barnes, and Hammersmith are mentioned. 

Illustrations include twenty-five illustrations and sketch maps, including some figures of relevant fossils found in the London area. 

This text was undated, so was dated using various adverts within the guidebook as well as from an identical copy held at the British Library.

Two pages of adverts to rear, as well as adverts printed onto the front endpapers as well as the rear cover.

Collated, complete. 

Condition

In the publisher's original paperback soft wraps. Externally, smart. Good colour to wraps, with a bit of discolouration and some marks. Some chipping along edges has resulted in a bit of loss at the top of the front wrap and to the corner of rear wrap. Spine is held by top cords only and may detach with further handling. Internally, binding is loosening in places and is close to failing. Pages are bright and very clean, with some age-toning around margins and a bit of spotting particularly to the first few pages.
