VERY EARLY WARD LOCK GUIDE - CHANNEL ISLANDS 1910 RARE!

This very early Ward Lock & Co illustrated travel guide is one of the original editions of the "red" guides published between 1901 and 1910.  These were the first of those with the famous "coat of arms" design on the cover and with the 1/- net price at the top of the spine, leading to the guides becoming known as the "shilling" guides.  They are full of contemporary photographs, advertisements and fold-out maps. 

These guides are increasingly becoming collectors' items.   Please see my website www.wardlockredguides.co.uk  for more information about the series.  I have a large collection of these early guides, but am needing to sell a number because of lack of space to store them.

This particular guide dates from 1910/11.  17th edition.  Details as follows :

Area covered : The Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm) and parts of Brittany and Normandy.

Contents : 160 pages of text.  6 maps (all present).  Over 70 illustrations.  90 pages of wonderful old contemporary advertisements.
