Item description from seller

The first edition of this vibrantly illustrated topographical guide to the English countryside of the 1930s by Gilbert Rumbold. The first edition. In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding, with pictorial paper covered boards. In the original unclipped dust wrapper. Profusely illlustrated in colour throughout. A volume that transports the reader back to England in the 1930s, containing a collection of writings taking us out from London along eight different roads. Rumbold points out all the charming old inns, the swimming pools, and the fashionable places to dance or play golf along the way. By the British artist Gilbert Rumbold, primarily known for his fashion illustrations, decorative maps, and especially for his illustrations in The Savoy Cocktail Book. In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding, with pictorial paper covered boards. In the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, light bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Spot to front board. Dust wrapper with sunning to spine, loss to the head, and loss to the corner of the front of wrap. Closed tears to extremities, with slight rubbing, and archival tape repairs and the odd spot to the reverse. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with the odd spot. Very Good Indeed.…
