Books on Coventry

I've made the mistake of getting the same book twice, especially when they don't use the same image in the different items. It's caught me out about 4 times.

I have just seen on E-Bay 'COVENTRY IMAGES OF The PAST' FOR £6. I already have this lovely book but may I recommend it to others who would be delighted by it!

Thanks for that Prof, it is a very good book and there are cheaper copies, but maybe not in such good condition.

This beautiful book, given so generously to us all by our wonderful forum member, has now been converted into a PDF version, which allows us to see it in much better detail - and also enables us to download a copy for ourselves. I have made it available from the Online Book Index on Historic Coventry.

They are truly wonderful and such a generous gift to members . The colour brings the pictures to life and highlights details that might not be obvious in the B/W versions.

A lady has been in touch with me who has an original copy of Benjamin Poole's large History and Antiquities of Coventry from 1869. She's described it as "has damaged original cover and pages are slightly browned with age". She would like £50 for it, so if anyone on here would like to buy it from her, please let me know and I will put you in touch.
