FIVE POUNDS? First, let's get the most usual concern out of the way --- this IS a complete hardback facsimile of the original 1863 edition. Bradshaw's use of language often verges on poetry without stretching into floweriness; a tendency that many Victorian writers evidenced with happy abandon. This is a wonderful facsimile of the original -which I have been unable to find for an affordable price (as to be expected) - so this is very much appreciated in this form.

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. Use book whilst watching TV series.

Very happy with my purchase. I'd not be surprised to see these little volumes appearing more and more frequently on station platforms or in carriages as travellers revel in the detail and historical interest value of Bradshaw's writing. How on earth can such a brilliant product cost so little?
