About This Item
London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co, 1856. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Exceptionally scarce. Only one copy in world libraries. No evidence that a volume 2 ever appeared. Engraved folding map with inset scenes as frontispiece, a little spotted and open at one fold. Bird's-eye views of the villa plan of Nottingham Park also present as called for, this rather more foxed and with greater wear along folds. Other engravings in text. Wide ranging and thoroughly entertaining guide, seemingly willing to explore attractions missed by others (eg. Mr Hall's Starch Works, New Lenton, and descents into the coal pits of Notts) among all the usual topics. All in good internal order. Just occasional foxing. Bookplate of George Creswell Bond to front pastedown. All edges of block marbled. However front hinge is loose and spine has lifted away from the block. This looks, to me, quite repairable. Half leather over green textured boards worn to all edges and especially to spine. 12mo. 368pp

About Dodman Books
Formerly Journobooks, my original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers and other media (hence the name) and I still have a good stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time I have added a wide and eclectic variety of other collectible volumes alongside a general secondhand stock. I am a collector as well as a seller so know all about the pitfalls of online buying as well as the joys. I will try to make your buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible.
