A luxury facsimile edition of Bradshaws Handbook of 1863, the book that inspired the BBC television series Great British Railway Journeys. The original Bradshaw's guides had been well known to Victorian travellers and were produced when the British railway network was at its peak and as tourism by rail became essential. It was the first national tourist guide specifically organised around railway journeys, and this luxuryleatherbound facsimile edition is a true collectors item, offering a glimpse through the carriage window at a Britain long past.
