Descripci�n

First impression of the revised and expanded third edition of this monumental work. With many illustrations and maps throughout the book. A very comprehensive work, originally published at �50. ***Near fine in brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Pages clean - printed on nice quality paper. With an integral place-marking ribbon. ***In a near fine illustrated dustwrapper, which is not price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of �50.00. The dustwrapper is virtually fine, with no chips, tears or creasing. No fading even to the spine. Dustwrapper bright. ***255mm x 180mm. 1101 pages including a sixty-page Index of People and General Index at the back of the book. ***Contents: x, Index. ***'Unmatched for scope and of peerless authority, "The London Encyclopaedia" distils the heritage of Europe's greatest city. Arranged alphabetically, nearly 6,000 entries explore every monument, building, street, park and suburb of importance, as well as events, institutions and themes relevant to the city's past glory and present vigour. Here, rich in detail, alive with wit and well served by two indexes, is everything anyone could possibly want to know about London. For the third edition of this well-established book, the text has been extensively revised and updated, taking London into the twenty-first century. Contemporary images have been added to the more than 500 period prints, drawings and photographs, while new entries cover a host of current icons and reflect the capital's cosmopolitan and multi-cultural dimensions. Mosques and temples challenge the ubiquitous churches, and the glazed geometry of corporate power is saluted. Everything of relevance to the history, culture, commerce and government of the capital is documented. From the very first settlements through to the skyline of today, "The London Encyclopaedia" comprehends all that is London.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the revised and expanded third edition of this monumental work, in its original dustwrapper, in near fine collectable condition. A beautifully produced book and a fascinating social history study of London. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. ***PLEASE NOTE this is a VERY HEAVY BOOK, and we will need to charge EXTRA SHIPPING for a sale outside of the UK.

Sinopsis

‘There is no one-volume book in print that carries so much valuable information on London and its history.’ Illustrated London News

The London Encyclopaedia is the most comprehensive book on London ever published. In its first new edition in over ten years, completely revised and updated, it comprises some 6,000 entries, organised alphabetically, cross-referenced and supported by two large indexes – one for the 10,000 people mentioned in the text and one general – and is illustrated with over 500 drawings, prints and photographs. Everything that is important in the history and culture of the capital is documented, whether vanished or extant, from its first settlement to the present day.

‘Written in very accessible prose with a range of memorable quotations and affectionate jokes…a monumental achievement written with real love.’ Financial Times

‘If I had my way this book would be in every cab in London.’ London Cabbie News

Acerca de los autores

Christopher Hibbert is an historian and biographer. Born in Leicestershire in 1924, Hibbert was educated at Radley College and then Oxford University, before going on to serve as an infantry officer in the London Irish Rifles during the Second World War. He was wounded twice and awarded the Military Cross in 1945. In 1979, he joined Ben Weinreb in creating The London Encyclopaedia, and he has also written books on London, Venice, Florence and Rome, among others. He continues to be published internationally and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Ben Weinreb (1912–1999) was a self-taught bibliophile with a particular interest in architecture. From humble beginnings in a Bloomsbury basement, he went on to become the world's leading antiquarian architectural bookseller, always aided and encouraged by his wife, Joan. In 1969, he started to compile and enlist contributors for The London Encyclopaedia, which was first published in 1983.

John Keay, once a history scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, has written some twenty books, mostly works of history. He is married to Julia Keay and they have four children.

Julia Keay is co-editor with John Keay of the Collins Encyclopaedia of Scotland and author of The Spy Who Never Was, With Passport and Parasol and Alexander the Corrector.
