About This Item
Carnegie Publishing, Lancaster, 2000. 1st edition. Hard covers, dust jacket in protective plastic sleeve. As new/Fine. Nearly new, with dust jacket and published in Lancaster (not Preston). Signed by the first author. The Portico Library is one of Manchester's historic cultural institutions, founded in 1806 in a neoclassical building designed by the distinguished architect Thomas Harrison. An early subscription library, many of the Portico's books have seen better days, Manchester's heavily polluted atmosphere in the 19th century having devoured the leather bindings; and unlike the Liverpool Athenaeum, which has both a fine library and dining facilities, the books take centre stage. Definitely a book for the bibliophile. vi, 151 pp.
