The set comprises 1: Whitbread's Brewery (1947); 2: Your Local (1947); 3: Inn-Signia (1948); 4: The Brewer's Art (1948); 5: Whitbread Craftsmen (1948); 6: Inns of Kent (1948); 7: Inns of Sport; (1949) 8: Receipts and Relishes (1950); 9: Your Club (1950); 10: Inn Crafts and Furnishings (1950); 11: Word for Word (1953).

The texts are deceptively detailed and all volumes are well-illustrated. Several volumes (especially 2, 3 and 8) are scarce; one (no. 11) is rare; most are now elusive in really good condition with dustwrappers. The series was clearly well-received: The Times termed it a 'novel enterprise in commercial publishing'; the Illustrated London News called it ' a valuable addition to the literature of the trade and our social life'.
