This a very rare book - when looking at the illustrations you will see why. Much sought after by dealers in antiquarian prints, this book sells for a high price - a good return for those who will carve it up to create framed prints, but destroying the book in the process.
Very useful for historians - section on Liverpool, plus numerous illustrations at the end. |
