paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condition: As New. The Shire Horse (1978) by Keith Chivers ? Sold by Crappy Old Books Lumbering through the misty pastures of British agricultural history comes The Shire Horse , Keith Chivers? affectionately written tribute to the gentle giants of the farming world. First published in 1978, this pastoral gem combines careful research, warm storytelling, and a healthy dose of nostalgia for a time when horsepower actually involved horses. From their medieval roots to their heyday hauling beer and ploughing fields, Chivers explores the rise, fall, and revival of the noble Shire with both precision and pride. Expect glossy black-and-white photos, charts about fetlocks, and loving profiles of horses with names like ?Champion Hercules of Wigan.? Whether you?re a draught horse devotee, a rural romantic, or just someone with a bookshelf full of oddly specific 1970s paperbacks, The Shire Horse is a heavy-hooved trot through a bygone world. Condition: Slightly yellowed, smells faintly of barns and Bovril ? but the binding?s still holding strong, much like the horses it celebrates. Crappy Old Books: Trot down memory lane.
