About This Item
Bedford, Beds.: Bedford Publishing Company, 1918. Book. Good+. Paperback. 386pp inc. adverts. Incredibly rare Bedford directory from 1918. No edition stated. Comprehensive residential listings combined with typical local advertising of the period. Not perfect, but nothing has been touched as this volume could ideally benefit from some professional restoration if the purchaser wishes to spend the money. The main body of text is securely bound, although there is browning to external edges which intrudes to the margins and has caused slt. chipping in places. Some typical burred cnrs. also. Appears to be complete. The outer wrappers are card, and only the frt. remains. The rear cover is absent - along with the backstrip. As a directory collector myself, I know that a skilled bookbinder can renovate this title and make the book look beautiful once more. The volume is of course perfectly functional for genealogical & social history purposes. A once in a lifetime find. Includes supply & fitting of new correctly sized protective lyfjacket. Size: 12mo - over 63/4" - 73/4" tall.
