Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. John Glagg, Robert Wilson (illustrator). First Edition. The Observer's Book of Canals - Observer's Book No. 95. The book was one of the last titles in the series, which ended with No. 98 Opera. With photographs by the author and drawings by Robert Wilson. ***Very good in glazed pictorial boards as issued, with red and black titles to the spine and front board. The covers are quite clean, just slightly marked and browned commensurate with age and handling. There is some fading to the colour of the picture on the front cover, and to the red titles, both on the front cover and on the spine, as is common with this title, and the laminated editions in general. Head and tail of the spine slightly creased, but no bumps or tears. Corners sharp. Text block edges nice and clean. Internally the book is near fine - extremely clean with no inscriptions or annotations. No marks. No creases. No cracking to the binding. Spine tight. No dustwrapper as issued. ***145mm x 94mm. 192 pages including a five-page index at the back of the book. ***'Britain's canals -- dramatically revived in recent years -- offer a fascinating study on foot, on a boat, by car or even in an armchair, but there have been few simple basic books on the subject. This book condenses a remarkable amount of information, from the canal-digging 'navvies' to the present revival scene. It looks especially at our waterways now -- at the intriguing locks, tunnels, aqueducts, bridges, boats and other sights to seek out. There is a descriptive canal list, maps, a wealth of cruising photographs, and a widely-varied source-list fro deeper study.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***A first edition (and the only edition) of this later title, in nice presentable condition, albeit with some fading to the covers. The Observer's books from this late period are quite uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # OBS014
