Stranger's Guide to the Island of Jersey, ca 1835.

The title page was missing from this rare and fragile book when we acquired it so the details of the author, publisher and original publication date are missing. It is dated to circa 1835 as the latest dates mentioned are in April 1834 and there are references to His Majesty William IV (died in 1837).

Price £10.00 (GBP 10.00) plus £1.00 (GBP 1) postage & packing (first class within the UK and by air mail to customers outside the UK).
