John Robert Russell (1917-2002), 13th duke of Bedford, succeeded to the title in 1953 and commercialized his father's estate, including Woburn Abbey, to pay the heavy duties.

By the time of the Duke's death, 1.5 million tourists were visiting Woburn Abbey annually..

Andre Deutsch, London, 1972 illustrated by George Mikes, FFOLKES. Hardcover. Fuchsia cloth, gilt letters on spine, white & color illus. dust jacket, 125 pp., BW illus. "If anyone knows how to run a Stately Home it is the Duke of Bedford, whose Woburn Abbey -- house, grounds and Game Reserve -- gives pleasure to some 1,200,000 people a year. He has now decided to share his knowledge, reviving to that end the partnership with George Mikes which produced 'The Duke of Bedford's Book of Snobs.' The splendid thing about [this book] is that it tells you exactly what the title promises. If you are planning to open your own Stately Home you would be mad not to read it first. The rest of us can settle for the entertainment offered by the Duke's tips and revelations, which can be as disconcerting as they are fascinating." The jacket is slightly rubbed, price-clipped, endpapers and prelims are partially browned from the edge of flaps. Internally clean and tight.
