About this Item

1932 Early Printing (December 1932) ? First Edition Typeface

This is an exceptional 1932 copy of Andrew McCormick?s definitive work on the Galloway region. Most importantly, this copy retains its original large-scale folding map, "Map to Show Walks," illustrated by E.F. Inkster.

Map Features:
- Detailed Routes: Shows walking paths and a unique "Aeroplane route" across the Merrick.
- Charming Illustrations: Features vignettes of a "Black Galloway" bull and a "Shepherd Carrying a Sick Sheep."
- Geographic Scope: Covers the area from Newton Stewart up through the Merrick and the Lochs.
- Cartography: A beautiful example of 1930s-era illustrative map-making.

Condition: Excellent (Map) / Very Good (Book)
- Map Condition: The map is in superb condition. There are no "cross-fold" tears or foxing visible on the map's surface.
- Paper: The map paper remains white and supple, not brittle.
- Folds: The original factory folds are clean and align perfectly.
- Internal Book: As noted previously, the pages are clean, the binding is tight, and the color frontispiece is bright.
