The Journal of William Beckford in Portugal and Spain

Journals by the author of Vathek, builder of Fonthill Abbey. An attractive edition of Beckford's journal with introduction, notes by Alexander. Two fold-out maps at back. Illustrated occasionally. VG/VG (Book has minor flaws: some spotting on fore-edge, little note taped with old tape to ffep, previous owner's name written neatly at top corner if ffep, and a discreet owner stamp at bottom of title page; dj, now protected in a plastic sleeve, has light edgewear and a slightly sunned spine).
