About this product

Product Information

Sunderland: Building a City traces the physical development of the city of Sunderland, from the earliest settlement patterns into the new millennium. The story is an intricate one, showing how Sunderland grew from a group of medieval villages and hamlets, mainly focussed upon the river and port, into the multi-faceted, flourishing city of today. The book covers the upsurge in the coal trade, the expansion of associated industries and commerce, and accompanying developments in communications infrastructure. The book describes the settlements of Sunderland, the role of water in the development of the city, its mansions and estates, its working-class housing and its architecture. It also looks at how work and social patterns have affected the built environment of the new city.

Table of ContentWhen appreciation for the written word evolves into passion, the next logical step is to collect first and rare editions. Modern Book Collecting is recognized as the definitive introduction to book collecting, with key information for both novice and veteran collectors about starting and maintaining a book collection. Focusing on books that are now most often collected - the works of late-nineteenth and twentieth century writers - Robert Wilson details what is collectible and how to make choices, how to build an author collection, how to care for books, assessing physical condition, and much more. A comprehensive list of twentieth-century author bibliographies is especially valuable, and appendices listing up-to-date sources of rare book dealers, and Wilson's choices for the fifty most important American books published in the post-war period, round out Modern Book Collecting as a thoroughly enlightened guide.
