'Will Someone Lead me to a Pub' is 1937 guide to the public houses and taverns of London, both new and old. ’The Pub’ is a veritable English institution and integral part of English society, dating back to time immemorial-and London has been home to some of the most famous and historic of these English drinking houses. This entertaining collection of notes on contemporary drinking establishments will appeal to all with an interest in the subject, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
