paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to (28.5 cm), 208 pp. Publisher's laminated wrappers (wrappers slightly frayed at extremities). In this engaging study, acclaimed historian Peter Whitfield uncovers a wealth of surprising truths and forgotten details hidden within the historic maps of London. Examining nearly 200 maps spanning the last 500 years, Whitfield illustrates the dramatic transformations of the city's streets, open spaces, and architecture. Through a vibrant array of cartographic illustrations, the maps trace London's turbulent history, from the devastation of the Great Fire to the lasting scars of the World Wars, and the rise of the West End as a hub of fashion and culture. Reading historic sketches and detailed plans as biographical keys to this sprawling metropolis, Whitfield offers fascinating insights into the city of black cabs and red double-deckers. With vivid prose and sharp analysis, he reveals the subtle interplay of social history, urban planning, and design captured in the ever-evolving cartography of London.
