This site is dedicated to Ward Lock Travel Guides. The main objective of the site is to chart the changing face of the Guides and to show how it is possible to get an idea of the date of the volume by the style of the front cover. It is illustrated with examples from my own collection and I would welcome any comments or contributions.
I have been collecting Ward Lock travel guides for a number of years and I initially decided to collect an edition of every town or area that had been published with the proviso that I would not collect any editions published after 1950. Although I have not achieved that objective I am now collecting the earliest examples of every guide published before 1950.
