BOOK DISCOVERY
The London guide
First published 1995
The London guide, by Juliet Gregor, was published in 1995 and is catalogued under guidebooks. Its bibliographic record offers a focused description: a guidebook associated with London, without further subjects indicating specific themes or coverage. This entry remains within those limits, presenting the work as a practical form that mediates between a city and its readers. The title encourages reflection on how a guide defines relevance, organizes urban information, and influences what visitors treat as necessary knowledge while traveling.
