In fine state with the original clothbound solander case, lettered in gold and with a blind-stamped title design. Scarce and very desirable. The first bookform publication of the verses Betjeman wrote to accompany Edward Mirzoeff's celebrated 1973 documentary film of the same name celebrating suburban life in the area to the north-west of London around the Metropolitan Railway.
