Publication: London and Edinburgh, W. & R. Chambers, Ltd., 1928

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 44.

Condition Report: Very Good. The book is securely bound in its original red cloth, which remains well-preserved and bright beneath the wrapper. The original printed paper dust jacket is entirely intact but displays moderate, age-appropriate tanning and light edge-wear, most notably along the spine panel and extremities. Internally, the pages are exceptionally crisp and clean, entirely free from foxing or prominent blemishes. The text block is solid, with sound hinges and no extraneous antiquarian markings. It presents as a very pleasing, solid example.

Catalogue Note: First Edition. Issued undated, though bibliographically established as 1928. The volume features an introduction by Walter Dexter and is enhanced by Charles Pearce’s charming illustrations, one of which decorates the front panel of the dust jacket.

Hardcover examples retaining their original printed paper dust jacket are increasingly scarce, particularly in such a complete and well-preserved state. The text block is uncommonly fresh, lacking any notable inscriptions, binders' stamps, or marks of previous ownership.

A delightful and evocative exploration of the London locations intrinsically linked to the life and works of Charles Dickens. Guided by Frank Green, with an illuminating introduction by Walter Dexter and characterful illustrations by Charles Pearce, this work transports the reader through the historic alleys, inns, and residences that shaped the literary landscape of Britain's most celebrated Victorian novelist. It stands as an essential, charming companion for both dedicated Dickensians and enthusiasts of London's rich topographical history.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
