From the Publisher
Bradshaw's Guide was the title employed on BBC TV in 2010 for a book containing four issues of Bradshaw's Handbook for Railway Tourists, bound especially for the series.
The Book covers Great Britain plus all of Ireland and describes the main features and historic buildings of the principle towns.
Very few of the original copies were bound in this manner and those that survive in the academic libraries are in their original form, convenient as a traveller's handbook for the Mackintosh pocket.
We offer it in bound form for easy reference and to allow maps and illustrations to be presented separately, with indexes. The advertisements are in three categories and can thus be enjoyed on their own.
George Bradshaw started his career as a cartographer and produced the nations first railway timetable in 1839. Sadly he died in 1853, but his competent partners and staff continued to promote and extend his fine range of travel publications.
How pleasing to find his name repeated with great frequency in the TV series and for us to be able to reprint four of his firm's handbooks in one volume for all to enjoy.
