Frontispiece, title-page, xvi ~+ 51 pages, with all 14 other illustrations (including one double-page spread) in very good condition.

The text, together with the 'Glossary of Terms' commonly used in connection with the London Pubs, remain a wonderful insight and are added to by the wonderful Ardizzone lithos.

First edition. Royal octavo. 50 pages. 14 full-page colour lithographs, 1 double-page colour lithograph and cover design by Edward Ardizzone. The first 8 lithographs are tipped-in, the remainder being on cognate leaves. All the lithographs have captions in cursive script by Edward Ardizzone. Pictorial boards. Printed at the Curwen Press. According to Alderson, the unsold stock was destroyed when Cassell's premises in Belle Sauvage Yard were burnt to the ground.Head and tail of spine scuffed. Corners of covers a bit rubbed. Very good in the remains of the cellophane dustwrapper but with the printed paper flaps present. These are crinkled, as seems to be a common problem with these ''transmatic'' dustwrapper. It is sometimes stated that the book was issued without a dustwrapper, which goes to show how seldom it is present.

With a frontis & 14 further coloured lithographs by Ardizonne, one of which double-page. Presentation copy from Oliver Simon of the Curwen Press, who printed the volume, to another of the Curwen's employees, John Cooper, dated November 1939, with Cooper's bookplate.

Foxing to the end-papers and nibbling at the head of the spine.

First Edition
First edition, sole impression. "Ardizonne's illustrations are generally concerned with contemporary life untouched by political, religious or ideological conflicts. His approach is not satiric or moralistic but autobiographical, and his drawings are representational and humourous and demonstrate his affection for people" (The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators). The book's scarcity is explained by Maurice Gorham in his Foreword to their follow-up book Back to the Local (1949): "[The Local's] career ended when unsold copies, sheets, and plates of the drawings went up together in the burning of Cassells' premises in Belle Sauvage Yard [during the Blitz]". Octavo. Original grey boards, titles to spine and front cover in red and black. With the original glassine dust jacket with paper flaps, as issued. With 15 four-colour lithographic plates, including one double-page by Edward Ardizzone. Some faint toning to boards; an exceptional copy in the scarce dust jacket, with partial loss to panels and spine at head and foot.
