  A fine, clean, First Edition copy of "London Orbital", by Iain Sinclair, published by Granta of London in 2002. This fascinating book sets out to map an area at once wholly unfashionable and previously uncharted; that vast stretch of urban settlement outside the centre of London, bounded by the great circle of the M25. Within this boundary are places to which Londoners escaped, where vast projects such as Heathrow Airport could be realised, and where the poor and the mad of the city were once dumped. On the eve of the millenium, the author decides to set out to walk the M25, and the ground enclosed by it, in the company of an old friend, in a series of epic loops. Together they uncover a history of forgotten villages, suburban utopias and hellish asylums, now transformed into upmarket housing. They traverse a disappearing landscape, as the countryside, once so lovingly captured in the verse of John Betjeman, is engulfed by commerce. Hard covers, 482 pages, full color illustrations, original dust jacket.

John Betjeman's Guide to English Parish Churches : Revised and Updated by Nigel Kerr

 A fine clean First Edition copy of the Revised and Updated Version of "Sir John Betjeman's Guide to English Parish Churches", originally published by William Collins in 1958; this Revised and Updated version by Nigel Kerr, which includes a new section on the parish churches of Wales, published by Harper Collins in 1993. This massive tome is a work of loving scholarship, providing a guide to a selected list of parish churches, buildings chosen for their atmosphere and aesthetic merit, the main criteria for inclusion being, in the late Poet Laureate's words, whether a church contains even one object "worth bicycling twelve miles against the wind to see". Those for whom this book is already an old and much loved friend will find it in it's revised form even more invaluable; those, whether believers or unbelievers , who are not yet familiar with it will need little encouragement to appreciate the inspiration and wealth of information it contains. Hard covers, 764 pages, black and white llustrations, original dust jacket. Ref. ZJBGTEPCRAUBNK/**. $125.00. *** INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING WITHIN U.K. ***
