DO NOT PASS GO From Old Kent to Mayfair by Tim Moore

A great book on travelling London via the Monopoly board. This is a used book in average condition but cheap: pages are browning with age; cover is clean but worn around the edges; reading wear to corners, first page has clipped top corner to remove owners name. A bit worn but perfectly readable, scarce and cheap. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: In the wonderful world of Monopoly, it still only costs GBP50 to buy a house in Islington, you can move around London with the shake of a dice and even park your car for free. In "Do Not Pass Go", Tim Moore, belying his reputation as a player, who always paid that GBP10 fine rather than take a 'Chance', fearlessly tackles the real thing, and along the way, tells the story of a game and the city that frames it. Sampling the rags and the riches, he stays in a hotel in Mayfair and one in the Old Kent Road, enjoys quality time with Dr. Crippen in Pentonville Prison and even winds up at the wrong end of the Water Works pipe. And, solving all the mysteries, you'll have pondered whilst languishing in jail and many others you certainly wouldn't, Tim Moore reveals how Pall Mall got its name, which three addresses you won't find in your A-Z and why the sorry cul-de-sac that is Vine Street has a special place in the heart of Britain's most successful Monopoly champion.
