What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
A very scarce revised edition of the author's vanishingly scarce 1884 work 'The Cycle Directory'.
Illustrated with the folding map of England and Wales called for to the title page, loosely inserted.
Offering a complete guide to the main and cross roads of England, Scotland and Wales, including a list of the best hotels, cycle repairers, and an index to over five thousand towns.
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding.
With contemporary advertisements to endpapers.
Condition
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with back strip lightly age toned. Cockling to back strip, a possible result of being reattached by a prior owner. Small closed tear to head of front joint. Hinges strained, and a touch tender. Pages lightly age toned due to paper type, but clean. Map detached and loosely inserted.
