Synopsis
Thirty familiar but very carefully selected London sights are visited and sketched by designer Tim Gosling who brings to each a passion for history. The sights range from Wellington Arch to Temple Bar along with Buckingham Palace s private rooms and the Library at St Paul's Cathedral. Gosling and Emma Crichton-Miller reveal the twists and turns of each sight's often quirky history and go on to detail a, largely unknown, secret London. Accompanied by archival letters and ephemera and nearly 100 rare and unpublished images from the Getty archives.

hardcover. Condition: 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.
