Matty Bowie
How on earth can such a brilliant product cost so little? If you want a greater number of such additional elements and some additional details, then you need to look at the separate 1866 paperback facsimile which is also a superb publication. The only thing that's ridiculous about this item is the price.

Bradshaw's use of language often verges on poetry without stretching into floweriness; a tendency that many Victorian writers evidenced with happy abandon. Those advertisements, maps and illustrations which were in that version ARE included except where the originals were rather too poor to reproduce.
