Discovering Sussex by R. L. P. Jowitt

This is a vintage paperback travel guidebook titled 'Discovering Sussex,' authored by R. L. P. Jowitt. The book features a pocket-sized format typical of mid-20th-century topographical guides, designed for utility and ease of transport. The cover art is divided into two main sections: a cream-colored top header with the title encased in a teal decorative filigree border, and a large teal-monochrome lower section displaying a historical etching of a coastal scene with a Martello tower and boats. The text on the cover identifies it as 'A motorist's guide to places of interest, including nine circular tours and a gazetteer of main towns and villages.' The overall aesthetic suggests a production date between the late 1960s and early 1970s. Regarding condition, the book shows clear signs of age and handled wear. There is noticeable yellowing and foxing on the cream sections, softening and bumping at the corners, and minor edge wear consistent with a paperback of this era. The binding appears intact, though the paper quality shows the typical darkening associated with wood-pulp based stock from that period. The monochrome printing on the cover is still vibrant despite the general shelf wear.
