1982ref. 002013Thames & Hudson LONDON 1982 Cloth. Fine/Fine. First Edition. Olive Cook was one of the great topographical writers and this book is something close to a masterpiece. She guides but does not hector. She dscribes but avoids being flowery. And this book contains that rare combination of harmonious prose and pictures. Evocative and wonderful photographs by the great Edwin Smith an unpretentious but subtle photographer. Clean and tight book in a clean and intact jacket which is protected. The first printing - way back in the 80s - meant that the plates were fresh sharp and original. Subsequent editions become worn unlike today's digital files where the first impression is not necessarily different to the 20th! These lovely shots are illuminating and tinged with nostalgia inevitably but they have a superb reportage quality as well. 0.0 0.0 0.0. Illus. by Profusely Illustrated. 1st Edition. Hardcover.
