Description - Research and spirited enquiry by Betty James. The publishers felt impelled to add a note which reads 'All we asked for was a simple, uncomplicated historical note to add in each case to the statistical information on the pub itself. What we got, as you will discover, is quite another matter.' The author also felt it necessary to make a qualification, he says 'Here then after eleven years of incessant labour is my piercing study of London pubs. It might have been better done. A glossier paper, perhapsœ A closer attention to the bindingœ But over this, as with Mrs James, I had no control. Bunyan in an earlier age, had much the same trouble with Caxton and a shiftless aunt.'
