The covers serve as a container to folded sheets which are secured to the inside spine. These sheets fold out in a variety of ways, showing the reader a dramatic diagrammatic history of the London Underground. 1994, 6th paperback edition (completely redesigned, redrawn and reset electronically), Douglas Rose, London, U. K. This splendid work first appeared in July 1980. All of the various stops along the Underground include info on when first served, when closed (if that happened), renaming circumstances, when reopened, when renamed, and much, much more. Anyone who's ever been in London and tried this rail system on for size realizes quickly that you'd better have a map with you.
