Descripción del artículo del vendedor

G : in Good condition with rubbed and edge-worn covers. External hinge starting on volume I; inner hinges cracked - contents remain tight. Foxing - particularly to prelims and sometimes impinging on plates. Some edge-tearing to pages within. Some light pencil annotations to index. 180mm x 120mm (7" x 5"). xxxix, 1112pp. 12 colour plates including frontis plate. An early 1863 edition of the Household Management, written and published by Isabella Beeton herself. In 1865 at the age of 28, Isabella Beeton died and her husband Samuel continued to publish, revise and enlarge subsequent editions. The first complete version of Mrs Beeton's 'Book of Household Management', consisted of the 24 collected monthly instalments, and was published on 1 October 1861. It included an extensive "Analytical Index". Although not an innovation, the index in the Book of Household Management is extremely detailed and exhaustively cross-referenced. Of the 1,112 pages, over 900 contained recipes. The remainder provide advice on fashion, child care, animal husbandry, poisons, the management of servants, science, religion, first aid and the importance in the use of local and seasonal produce. In its first year of publication, the book sold 60,000 copies. It reflected Victorian values, particularly hard work, thrift and cleanliness. Brown hardback half-leather cover with brown boards.…

Descripción de la tienda

Since its opening in 1991 within the premises of a small model factory at Alnwick Station, Barter Books has grown well beyond original expectations. Starting off in what was the ticket and parcel office of the original Station, the bookshop has expanded down the platforms and through the waiting rooms, until it now covers over one-quarter of the whole Station site. This translates into an area exceeding 8000 square feet and containing over 350,000 books on more than three miles of shelving. Now houses the Famous Writers Mural - 40 feet long by 18 feet high. The bookshop also sells secondhand DVDs, videos and music (CDs, LPs, cassettes, sheet music), as well as a small but growing section of artists' prints. And then there are the shop's many extra features! These include an open fire in the winter, coffee and cookies, a model railway running above the book columns, a mini-cybercafe, generous seating and browsing areas, a children's room, and dozens of glass cases containing many of the more interesting antiquarian books. A final note: during the enlargement process the owners took (and are taking!) particular pleasure in restoring, as they can, various features of the Station. This so far includes the original North Eastern Railway cast iron fireplaces, two of the Station clocks, a drinking fountain, and various waiting rooms. Most dramatic of all, however, was the restoration of part of the glass roof. That was when we all stood about watching as the sun came streaming in for the first time in many years to bring the wonderful old Station visually back to life. The very latest addition has been a forty foot mural celebrating the names of those who worked at Alnwick Station in its railway days - over 400 names plus the coats of arms of the three railway companies involved.…
