Description

This fascinating selection of 180 archive postcards and maps takes the reader on a nostalgic journey around historic Oxford, showcasing some of the finest buildings and streets in this English university city. The collection conjures a forgotten world of trams, horse-drawn buses, colleges, museums, churches, parks, waterways, monuments and the people connected with them though time. Arranged geographically, starting in the historic Broad Street, the reader journeys through the streets of north Oxford to the University Parks, Mesopotamia and the River Cherwell and its famous punt ramp between the upper and lower Cherwell, before returning by the once ladies only colleges of Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville College to St Giles' and the Martyrs' Memorial. The book will stir nostalgic memories for some, and presents a unique view of the past for others, offering a glimpse of the city before the age of mass motor car ownership.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
