London For Free

Some of the vintage oldtimers who have been following Travel Between The Pages for many eons may recall that during the last century I made a dubious living writing travel guidebooks and newsletters. One of my better selling books was titled London For Free. It was also my most plagiarized books. In fact, knock-off versions were published in more than one country that simply lifted the text word for word and republished with a different cover. Que sera sera.

Any way, I am always on the look out for similar titles now that London For Free is long out of print. I recently ran across the guide Free London from Hoxton Mini Press of London and was happy to discover that they have issued a very extensive catalog of London travel guidebooks including the aforementioned title on no cost sites.

The range of titles is impressive and I will certainly pick up a few the next time that I visit London. Have any of you purchased or read books from the series ? What did you think ?

    Yes, I’ve just given my daughter-in-law a copy of South London, because that’s where they live. It’s very well presented, and has an interesting mix of well-known sights and sites together with the quirkier-but-worth-discovering.
