Description: | Select Guide Rating One of the most eccentric, informative guidebooks about Britain, on road A272, which travels through South East England, written by Dutch couple the Boogaarts, with photography. "Road all about it!" - The Sun "One of the most original, crazy, informative and enjoyable books to appear for a long time: this guide is utterly appealing" - Sarah Anderson,Travel Bookshop "The most eccentric and fascinating guidebook we have ever seen" - John Sandoe Bookshop "Delightful" - Woman''s Hour A decade-old obsession for Dutchman Pieter Boogaart resulted in a guidebook that looks like no other, to a subject never before fully explored: the A272. Three continuous texts wind their way through the book, simultaneously exploring the A272 itself and the countryside it passes through; extra commentary is provided in yet another level of text. Hundreds of colour photographs complete this homage to the ''epitome of England''. After eight reprintings, now in a fully revised, updated, improved FOURTH edition and - naturally - 272 pages long! |
