The answer if not to a maiden's prayer then at least to those of a whole generation of country sporting men and women. This flexible sporting diary takes account of hunting, fishing, falconry and coursing as well as shooting, but most of all recognises the fact that the peripheral events of any day in the field are always of more lasting interest than the size of the bag. Game books of previous eras were no more than desiccated e state records, things of no flesh and bone, for 100 pheasants here read much the same as 100 pheasants two months later. We needed to remember who shot well, how was the dog work, what about the amazing sunset and that old cock bird you downed with the last shot of the day as it topped the tallest tree and headed for safety down the valley? Who needs a shooting diary with wasted columns for ptarmigan and capercaillie when so few are shot in the whole country in a year? The columns are simplicity itself, covering the date, the place, your companions and the bag and, on the facing page, most important of all, remarks. These might be a terse two liner or inspiration might run to a full page for something special. There is room to insert photographs, game cards or perhaps to pin a feather. Every spread has a sporting quotation from times past as well as exquisite paintings by John Paley.

Baedeker's guide books first appeared in 1827 and by the time this edition of 'London and its Environs' was published in 1900 they had earned a well deserved reputation for meticulous accuracy and encyclopaedic content. Each successive edition included up to the minute revisions obtained by an army of local agents, the accuracy of whose work was constantly checked by members of the Baedeker family who travelled incognito throughout Europe checking the facts and figures that appeared in their books. This book brings to life, in astonishing detail, a complete picture of all that a visitor might wish to know about the world's greatest city at the close of the Victorian era. In over 500 pages with a fold out map of London and the surrounding countryside, numerous plans of notable buildings and 31 pages of coloured street plans, not only are all the major sites and attractions mentioned, but there is copious advice on etiquette; Recommended Shops from drapers and hosiers to pianoforte manufactures and trunk makers; Markets. There is also a history of London. Visitors are guided on a dozen tours by steamer and train to London's environs such as The Crystal Palace, Windsor Castle and as far afield as Rochester and St Albans each being packed with directions, historical facts, travel arrangements and costs.
