Fascinating and rare copy of an old Black's Guide to Hampshire, published in 1880. Published by Adam and Charles Black. This is the 8th edition of this title.These guides are increasingly becoming collectors' items.This is an ex-library copy and has slight wear, but is still in very good condition.155 pages of text, plus 112 pages of wonderful old contemporary advertisements.All the 5 maps and plans are present, including the fold out county map in the pocket insid...e the rear cover. This is in rather worn condition, with a number of tears along the folds and some paper tape repairs, but it is complete and there is no loss. The 4 plans all appear to be in excellent condition with very little wear and no markings or damage.The green board covers are in good condition with normal wear, but with slight marking. There is an old library label on the front cover (see scan). The spine cloth is also in good condition, but there is superficial splitting to the side edges, and slight scuffing to the top and bottom edges.The binding is very good. Just a slight crack inside the front cover.The pages are in very good condition with very little wear but slight discolouration at the edges. No markings or damage.Overall, in pretty good condition for a book which is 130 years old.Please see my many other current listings of collectable UK and other travel guides.
