About This Item
London: Kelly's Directories Limited, 1968-69. Cloth. Very Good. 11" by 9". None. Kelly's Manufacturers and Merchants Directory including Industrial Services 1968-69 Volume II by Kelly's Directories Limited. Volume two only of two. Published annually. This volume covers Europe, Africa, America, Asia, Oceania. Volume one would have had Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Kelly's Directory was a trade directory in the United Kingdom that listed all businesses and tradespeople in a particular city or town, as well as a general directory of postal addresses of local gentry, landowners, charities, and other facilities. In effect, it was a Victorian version of today's Yellow Pages. Many reference libraries still keep their copies of these directories, which are now an important source for historical research. Other publications followed, including the Handbook to the Titled, Landed and Official Classes (1875) and Merchants, Manufacturers and Shippers (1877). In 1897, Kelly & Co Ltd became Kelly"s Directories Ltd. In a cloth binding with advertisement tipped in to front and spine. Externally, generally smart but with slight bumping and wear to extremities and the odd mark to boards. Internally, firmly bound. Generally bright and clean throughout, with slight age toning and handling marks to pages. With institutional label and ink stamps to front pastedown. Very Good
