Books by Andrew Emmerson

The London Underground is a pioneer and an institution. The first underground railway in the world, and incorporating the first ever deep tunnel 'tube' lines too, it is at the heart of London life. This book focuses on the interesting and quirky aspects of the subject.

Ranging from its demonstration to Queen Victoria in 1878, through the bake light models of the 1920s and '30s to the chic plastic designs of the 1970s and '80s, this title traces the evolution of the humble telephone over more than a century.
