Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com Too small | Customer Rating: | | Am I the only one who was shocked to find how small this book is? Of course, I should have checked the dimensions before buying, but somehow I don't feel too stupid for assuming that a book of beautifully shot photographs would be of a size where they can be appreciated... not some titchy pocket book. | London is falling down... | Customer Rating: | Loved this! A great reference to parts of London we see every day, but ignore so easily.
One of the buildings I walk past going to work every day is in here, and I look at it now, and soak in the History.
This is a great little book, if you love London and its history, you will really enjoy Derelict London. | Just brilliant | Customer Rating: | This is a splendid book which is interesting, thought provoking and a wonderful guide to the decaying parts of our capital. The photographs are atmospheric, the stories enlightening and moving and I would recommend this book (and indeed the website of the same name) to anyone who has ever passed a derelict building and wondered what was there before or what the story of the place was.
The author Paul is also a lovely guy whom I've had email chats with a few times now.
| Fantastic little book! | Customer Rating: | This book is fascinating, a great insight to history in our city that we might often miss. The photos are well taken.
I would highly recommend it to anyone.
| fascinating!! | Customer Rating: | this is an absolute must for all fans of Paul Talling's website of the same name.It gives an insight into the lesser known side of London,from hospitals to pubs,left to decay or be demolished to make way for yet more luxury flats (rabbit hutches) or offices.Its very sad to see the old,beautiful buildings like the numourus public houses being demolished,its like pulling the heart out of London's history...................Buy this book its brilliant!!!!
