Great little book if you like Edward Bawden illustrations, but also for the comments about London which are very interesting - from the year of the Queen's coronation - such as info about Turkish baths being reasonably priced, tipping advice (6d), hoe to horse ride in London, spivs, and the most you have to pay dentists is £1 (except for dentures) due to the National Health scheme. The cover illustration isn't the style repeated inside - the illustrations are charming, small black and white cartoons.
