4to., First Edition, with title-vignette, 8 plates on pink stock, numerous monochrome photographs and illustrations in the text and pictorial endpapers; original pictorial wrappers with black comb-binding, an unusually bright, clean copy.
One of the first ten titles in this wonderful series edited by Betjeman. In 1939 the imprint passed to Faber who replaced the characteristic comb-binding with conventional cloth and standardised the titles. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
