I picked up two copies of this book, just because of it's venerable age. Once I looked inside, I find I can release it back into the wild. It is only mildly interesting, with fairly boring black & white photos.

The two spreads that interested me the most are the remains of [The Thirty-Nine Steps] and Burrington Gorge, which inspired the hymn 'Rock of Ages.' That rock formation is very cool.

Expansion of a photo essay from Life Magazine (June 14, 1943). . ( )

This book includes photos from the throughout England of literary locations that inspired scenes in classic literature. Each one includes a quote from the text, the photo and a brief explanation of where the location is and why it was used. The information is a bit dated, but it's still interesting. ( )

Way Cool. The reproductions of the photographs, or the photographs themselves, are fuzzy. But that seems to give authenticity to the subject matter - England can be a bit fuzzy sometimes, as can the history of literature.
