Pages numbered 1-32 (advertisements); xv, [1 blank], 632 pages; pages numbered 33-62 (advertisements). Cloth a little rubbed and slightly creased on the spine with a small dark mark to the lower spine. Bookseller's(?) pencil notation to the front free end-paper and top margin of page 1 of the advertisements. Internally clean and unmarked. Complete with plans and maps (6 folded) as listed in the "table méthodique". Very small tear to the hinge of the map of Buenos-Ayres. Text in French. Albert Martinez illegally, and seemingly with impunity, used the Baedeker name to sell his guide. More than that he closely mimicked the Baedeker look and feel as closely as he could. That aside, the guide is packed with useful information for the contemporary traveller and is an abundant resource of historical relevance – if you want to know the details of all the early 20th century registered league football clubs in "Buenos-Ayres et dans les environs" you'll find it here.

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.

Description:
London: Bemrose & Sons , 1881. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket (as published). 5.5" X 8.5. 39pp., A classic study on the origins of place names in the English county of Derbyshire. 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.
