Item description from seller

This is in fact the 1808 (possibly 1809) publication 'The Stranger's Guide Through London' by William Carey, retitled and reissued by Thomas Tegg (notorious buyer of other publishers' distressed stock) with a new title page. Maybe printed from the original plates, but more likely bound up from existing sheets. Carey's book is scarce, with only one copy in library ownership (British Library), while the Tegg 'imprint' is only held by two (British Library and Wellcome Foundation). This copy is thus Tegg's engraved frontispiece and title page, followed by Carey's folding map and letterpress. The map is scarce in itself, showing London, Westminster & Southwark. Text is a comprehensive guide to London life, from the broadly historical through to the minutiae of daily business such as watermen's fares on the river and rates of taxation on servants. Occasional foxing and toning, but in general good internal order. Map is toned and leading edge and creases have been strengthened. Volume has been attractively rebound in full red leather with gilt on black title piece to spine. 24mo. [2], 399pp + index.…

Store description

Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.…
