1 Brabbs, Derry. Introduction by Sir John Smith. LANDMARK: COTTAGES, CASTLES AND CURIOSITIES OF BRITAIN IN THE CARE OF THE LANDMARK TRUST.
Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1998, first edition. 
160 pp, oblong (7 3/4" H x 10 3/16" D) hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0297822993 Profusely illustrated with colour photographs. "Founded in 1965, the Landmark Trust is a charity that rescues and sympathetically restores buildings of historic or architectural interest and then secures their future by making them available to rent to everyone. Landmark began with one building but now cares for over 160, and its extraordinary variety of properties offers a visual feast, beautifully captured and described in this splendid volume by author and photographer Derry Brabbs. Landmarks come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny gatehouses and follies to magnificent priories and castles, fortified and unfortified. These photographs show not only the picturesque exteriors but also the authentically decorated and furnished rooms within, and the text reveals the history and character of each of the hundred landmarks covered and gives a multitude of quirky and unexpected anecdotes reveali n g t h e original spirit of the differing places." Small bump at bottom of spine, book slightly cocked. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling and minor rubbing. Very Good/Very Good+ 
Price: 20.00 USD
