Summer Holidays.

London: [publisher not stated], 1906. Presumed first and only edition. Softcover. 93pp, including many plates in colour and monochrome by various artists. Stapled booklet with paper covers in landscape format, 13.2x18.2cms, extolling the charms and facilities afforded by East Anglia, and the East Anglian coast in particular: a mélange of narrative, information, and images. With a map, a list of golf links, and of hotels, information about fishing and yachting in Norfolk, and an index. While the pictorial front cover has a little wear to the extremities, the pictorial back cover is very soiled, and a small stain affects the bottom margins of the four final pages. Contents very good with that exception. It opens: 'If rest is change, then for holidays, summer and sundry, Doctor East Coast provides it at a moderate fee, with his own special and particular tonic thrown in. His prescription takes the form of a return railway ticket.' A fair copy of an uncommon and delightful period piece. Fair. Item #19069040

Price: £19.00
