Black's Guides

Black's Guides were travel guide books published by the Adam and Charles Black firm of Edinburgh (later London) beginning in 1839.

[1] The series' style tended towards the "colloquial, with fewer cultural pretensions" than its leading competitor Baedeker Guides.

[2] Contributors included David T. Ansted, Charles Bertram Black, and A.R.

Hope Moncrieff.
