This directory is a vast reference list of makers and manufacturers of goods, and providers of services, available in Britain and Europe at the end of the Victorian period . If you want to find, say, Millstone Makers in the London area, or Explosive Manufacturers around the UK or Needle Makers in Europe , or just about anything you can think of , then it's to be found here. The entries are also interspersed with engraved period advertisements of the period . As might be expected for a book about 13 cm thick, the weight is considerable - 4.6 kilos - and so postage costs will be higher than standard rates quoted on ABEBooks, and all but rule out buyers outside of the UK.
