Description

Collector's item, landmark in the history of the tour guide, snapshot of Britain in the 1860s Bradshaw's Handbook deserves a place on the bookshelf of any traveller, railway enthusiast, historian or anglophile.

Produced as the British railway network was reaching its zenith, and as tourism by rail became a serious pastime for the better off, it was the first national tourist guide specifically organized around railway journeys, and to this day offers a glimpse through the carriage window at a Britain long past.

This is a facsimile of the actual book often referred to as 'Bradshaw's Guide' that inspired the 'Great British Railway Journeys' television series, possibly the only surviving example of the 1863 edition.

It is an exact copy with a removable belly-band.
