Slightly better than very good condition.
Disappointed in love, in 1759 Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, retreated to Lancashire to devote himself to coal and canals. When his agent, John Gilbert, introduced him to the Staffordshire Schemer James Brindley, the two men formed an unlikely alliance that would alter the face of the country. This book charts the dynamics of a remarkable business relationship in a fast-changing world. Pictorial cardwraps. Colour & b/w photos/illustrations. ISBN: 9781445649665. A lovely copy.
