A VERY RARE opportunity to offer on a true piece of railway history. This guide includes 2 sections bound in a single volume. The first section contains the London and Birmingham Railway, with the latter section covering the Liverpool and Manchester Railways. Separately paginated at 90pp + 16pp adsto the first piece, with the secondsection beingsomewhat confusingin its pagination (pp103 backs on to pp140 for instance) a couple of other pages also appear to have been misnumbered asno sections appear to be lacking.Both sections contain folding route maps of the lines, the former map with a tear and a little staining but complete, the latter section having a wonderful hand coloured map. Bound in the original cloth showing an engine pulling carriages with gilt titles beneath, gilt rubbed, with wear to the edges and corners of the boards, splitting to the edges of the spine, ends chipped. Pages on the whole are in good order, although the timetable is detached in the first section. This volume was published just 2 years following the opening of the railway and is a very rare early edition and a wonderful addition to any Railway buff\'s collection.

Mint: Another term for Fine.
Near Fine (NF): May show a small flaw, such as shelf wear, but nearly perfect and unread.
Very Good (VG): The broadest category for used books, this describes any average used book. May have small flaws, and has probably been read, but should appear overall clean and attractive.
Good (G): Will probably have significant wear or damage, although is still intact. Suitable for reading, but not necessarily a good gift copy. The old saying in bookselling is "good ain\'t good."
Fair: Another term for Poor or Reading Copy: Heavily worn or damaged, a poor book will be readable but not attractive.
Binding Copy: This will be the complete pages of the book, but the binding has been broken or damaged to the point it will need professional rebinding
