Paul Jones

End to End SIGNED

Little Brown, 2021. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. Signed by Author. SIGNED by the author,to a publisher's bookplate affixed to the half-title page, and inscribed "Days are where we live" . Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; small nick to front lower corner of jacket. The End to End record is the longest place-to-place cycling record in Britain. It is a daunting 842 miles and for the men and women who attempt to break the record, there can be no second place, only the binary outcome of total success or failure. Paul Jones decided to ride from Land's End to John O' Groats in an attempt to understand the relentless physical and mental challenges involved. End to End is a captivating and beautifully written narrative. A lyrical account of the journey sits alongside meetings with amazing cyclists; people like Eileen Sheridan; who covered the distance in under three days in 1954, or current men's record holder Michael Broadwith who did it in a scarcely believable 43 hours. Paul Jones reaches further back to the very first attempts in the 1880s, undertaken on penny farthings, fuelled by Victorian values and patent medicine. 320 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; Signed by Author. Inventory No: dscf11726.

Ian Thompson

The English Lakes: A History

Bloomsbury Publishing , 2010. Reprint, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780747598381 Clean bright pages, unclipped jacket. A very nice looking copy, in almost as new condition. Ian Thompson's sumptuous book does full justice to the history, topography, and cultural background ~ from Defoe to Wordsworth and Coleridge to Beatrix Potter and beyond ~ of this astoundingly impressive, inspiring place. A few of the reproductions {Turner, Claude Lorrain, Potter, etc} could be clearer, but mostly the many illustrations which adorn the book, including as they do several tremendous photographs by the author himself, are mouth-watering. Thompson's text is intelligent and informative. A book to treasure. (Reader review) 352 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; ISBN/EAN: 9780747598381. Inventory No: dscf10430.
