For such a familiar part of the British scene, the telephone box is something of an unknown quantity. What is its story? Why does it look the way it does? Who designed it? This generously illustrated book answers these questions and more and also acts as a spotter's guide.
Tracing the design and evolution of the phone box, touching on police and emergency kiosks, and listing interesting sites to visit, this is an ideal guide to a site that is becoming increasingly rare on British streets as the mobile phone slowly pushes the telephone box to extinction.
