The Shell Book of Exploring Britain

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded. Hardback. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. New Edition Revised and Expanded by John Tomes. This is the book for the touring motorist who wants a peaceful holiday away from busy traffic and overcrowded beauty spots. Extensively researched and carefully compiled, it can be used to plan excursions and longer tours by way of attractive minor roads, which often pass through some of the most beautiful and unspoiled countryside in the British Isles. Garry Hogg's first edition, which was so well revied, had been considerably expanded by Blue Guide author John Tomes, and the book now covers more that twenty areas of England, Scotland and Wales - each case beginning with a general survey of the region and then focusing in more detail on suggested routes to take and places of interest to explore. Written with great charm and humour, the book combines a loving appreciation of the landscape of villages, churches and ancient sites, with intriguing historical anecdotes and observations of local curiosities. It is an entertaining companion, full of ideas and information - a book to use, to enjoy and to keep returning to whenever you want to plan your travels that bit more selectively. Illustrated. 415 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
