THE BLUE GUIDES: COMPLETE CULTURAL GUIDES
“designed for the traveller who desires to understand more fully what he or she sees” Stuart Rossiter, Blue Guides editor-in-chief 1963-1973
“often plagiarised by other guide writers, Blue Guides have always been a gold standard for accuracy and depth” Daily Telegraph
Blue Guides have been published continuously since 1918. Following the acquisition of the series in 2004, Somerset Books continues to invest heavily in publishing the best-researched, best-presented cultural guide books in the English language:
strong focus on maintaining the Blue Guides as the leading, most comprehensive cultural guides in the English language covering art, history and architecture;
full-colour throughout, with illustrations to inform rather than to decorate: maps, diagrams, floor plans, architectural details, photographs;
re-editing to improve access to information and navigability with cross-referencing, excellent indexing, maps, floor plans and intelligent layout;
selective listings of restaurants and accommodation informed by the belief that good practical recommendations will contribute to the enjoyment of good art.
“Thank you for reissuing the Blue Guides; they are invaluable.” Dr John Wilson, Director of Curatorial Affairs Joslyn Art Museum
