JOHN CARTER - Chandlers' Travels. A Tour of the Life Of Harry Chandler

London England, Quiller Press, 1985. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback The story of Harry Chandler is a true 'rags to riches' tale. From the poverty of London's East End in the 1920s and 1930s life has brought him success and the trappings of affluence. However, there is more to the Harry Chandler story than the making of money. There is the building up of a business which now has a turnover of £10 million a year plus, not from central London or a chain of offices all over the country, but from a single office at Upminster, in Essex - a trade in package holidays abroad that began when a young Harry Chandler and his best friend embarked on a cycle tour of Germany in 1934. In this book the well known TV personality John Carter has 'packaged' a remarkable and often highly amusing life story of the Doyen of the holiday trade. Illustrated. Corners of cloth very slightly bumped. Small pen mark to inside cover. Slight wear and a couple of small tears to D/J.
