About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

<DIV>Take a journey through history and discover the fascinating and quirky stories behind a mixed bunch of characters who all share the rare distinction, as commoners, of having a pub named after them; from poets to actors, from sports personalities to comedians, from novelists to singers and war heroes to inventors. Pubs named after King George, Queen Victoria, Marquis of Granby and Robert Kett are just a few of the people explored in this book. Thoroughly researched with a plethora of information to quench the thirst of intrigue, A Pub Crawl Through History is the perfect companion to any curious drinker - and is best enjoyed with a pint or two!</DIV>
