Although this latest and revised edition of 1987 is to a minor extent outdated, it still gives a good picture of Oxford (city and university) today and over the centuries. It is packed, like Morris's excellent book on Venice (bwl 7), with a vast amount of easily readable information about every conceivable aspect. I particularly liked the idea of students being not allowed to keep a private aeroplane within 20 miles of Oxford!
