This copy has had a tough life, the spine strip is missing and both hinges are weak. The pages themselves are all soundly bound. The book includes some related ephemera, including a letter and several newspaper cuttings, mainly from the 1920s. (Includes the author's obituary). Some cuttings are stuck to the pages, but all text is still quite readable. There is the signature of a previous owner (William S Longbottom) at the top of the title page. William Longbottom was better known by his pen name of Horace Weir, the author of many works on the history of Derbyshire. Please note that this is a 19th century produced copy and not a modern reproduction. All orders processed and shipped promptly from the UK, usually within 24 hours. Please call or email with your questions about this book. Not available for… Read More

Description:
Leipzig: Karl Baedeker, Publisher, 1894. Cloth. Fine+. Eleventh Edition, Revised and Augmented. lxii, 423pp, with 13 maps and 21 plans. An exceptionally Fine, virtually pristine, copy, with brilliant gilt lettering, one (of two) woven silk page-makers, and unfaded, richly marbled edges; the red flexible cloth covers unmarked, bright, square and tight, the maps properly folded and free of tears. Hinrichsen E190. "The Romantic movement in Germany had given a new impetus to travel . . . In 1828 Baedeker bought the rights to J. A. Klein's Rheinreise von Mainz bis Köln and, after the death of the author, Baedeker himself revised and updated the work, recreating it for a new market. Using his own travel experiences he guided the tourist to the principal attractions in each place, saving travellers the expense of hiring their own guide. He thus created a new type of guidebook, which was widely copied throughout Europe and opened up tourism to a new class of visitor. The reliability of the information was… Read More

Description:
Leipzig: Karl Baedeker, Publisher, 1895. Cloth. Fine-. Second Edition. xxiv, 294 pages, with 10 maps and 13 plans (some folding). Nominally the second edition, but Baedeker only published this title once. Publisher's red flexible cloth stamped in blind and gilt with all edges marbled and a green silk page-maker. Almost Fine (but for very light soiling to the covers and a touch of foxing to the edges of several maps), with richly marbled edges; the covers bright, square, and tight, the maps properly folded and free of tears. Scarce, especially in such collectible condition. Hinrichsen E123. "The Romantic movement in Germany had given a new impetus to travel . . . In 1828 Baedeker bought the rights to J. A.
