Sobre este item
London: The Architectural Press, no date [1936]. First edition (hardback). 8vo (25cm by 20cm), 46pp. Plates, text illustrations, 2pp colour maps. Bound in mottled grey cloth, gilt titling to the spine. This copy is in very good condition (some light rubbing of the boards). Several of the pre-WW2 Shell Guides can be found in this grey cloth binding, and opinion is divided as to why the books were bound up this way. The most convincing suggestion I have heard is that they were used as publisher's rep's samples. This book is in a slightly larger format than the more commonly seen softcover issue, which measures 23cm by 18cm.

Sobre Cornell Books Limited
We are a medium-sized bookshop located in a small country town in the west of England. The shop is open for business from 1030 to 1700 Monday to Saturday. The building is a fifteenth-century former public house. We are still awaiting the day when we find a book older than the shop itself!
