Baedeker's & Murray's References
A collector recently asked for some good reference sources on Baedeker's travel guides and Murray's Hand-Books. The best resource on English Language editions of Baedekers is Baedeker's Guidebooks : A Checklist of English Language Editions 1861 - 1939 by John R. Gretton ( Dereham Books ). The best overall reference book on Baedekers is Baedekers Reisehandbucher 1832 - 1944 by Alex Hinrichsen. A terrific book for Murray's collectors is A Bibliography of Murray's Handbooks For Travellers by William B. C. Lister ( Dereham Books UK ). A great website for collectors is http://bdkr.com .
A personal note to the buyer who returned the Baedeker's sans maps : Shame on you. bb

Thanks so much for the comment! It's always a pleasure to find someone who shares an interest in travel guides and literature, especially from the nineteenth century. I wish I could have had your blog when I first began my research--there's a lot of useful information here. I look forward to seeing your blog expand.
