MITTON, Geraldine Edith (text). Mortimer MENPES (illust.). The Thames. London, Adam and Charles Black, 1906.

8vo., Original grey-blue cloth with decorative boards printed in green, white and light blue, lettered in gilt with a gilt top edge; 55 colour-plate illustrations, captioned on the tissue guards and 20 colour printed chapter headings, pull-out map of the Thames and [2] pp publishers advertisements; endpapers far less toned than usual, a very good, fresh, copy with gist inscription, dated 1940 to front fly-leaf.

First edition. 3000 copies. This volume is unusual in that this was the first time such illustrations had appeared as chapter headings on the same page as the text matter. A laborious process, in that the paper had to first be coated (as the three colour process was only successful on art paper), the experiment was not repeated. A previous text written by Menpes' daughter, Dorothy, was rejected for being of an 'inadequate quality'.

‘A & C Black’s Twenty Shilling series of colour plate books, published from 1901 onwards, brought the world into the home at a time when travel, especially overseas, was much more difficult than it is today. For the first time books containing large numbers of colour plates – up to 100 per volume – were made available to the public at an affordable price.’ (Inman)

Small and perfect
This salt and pepper grinder set are perfect for what I wanted. They are small in size, easy to fill and grind the S&P perfectly.

Great Value!
Color: Tall Set - Black White
Better than anticipated. These are sturdy and work very well. They came with a little funnel to fill, but easy enough without it. They are attractive, I keep on top my stove as I have room. Grind well.

Defective coarseness adjuster
Color: Tall Set - Black White
These salt and pepper shakers are ok. According to the description of the product, you should be able to adjust the coarseness of the salt and pepper added to them, but that was not my case. The coarseness adjuster on the set I received is set to one position and there is no way of changing it. The grinders work well, but if you are looking to adjust the coarseness of your salt and/or pepper look for another grinder set.

The worst banking experience
Stay away from this card if you want to keep your sanity, they had a welcome offer of $750 that they refused to honor, if you call customer service you will be on hold for 2 hours just for them to transfer the call to someone that doesn't know what they're doing. they still ask you to send them documents by mail or fax to prove you're not lying to them. I closed their card less than a month after opening it, the worst banking experience of my life.
