About this Item

First & only edition, 248pp, blue boards, dustwrapper. The book is in fine condition, with just a hint of foxing to the front flyleaf and a light crease to the half title. The dustwrapper is a little marked, more so to the back panel, the foot of the spine is a touch nibbled , and there is a small piece of loss to the top right hand corner of the back panel. Both of these areas have a small piece of clear tape verso. On the back of the front flyleaf is written & 'For G V Yonge. In appreciation for his hospitality and with every good wish. L T C Rolt. November 1957 . Rolt signed very few books and a signed copy of his uncommon history of an imaginary Midlands town is exceptional. We have other signed Rolt books in stock - see our other listings.

Store Description

A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock.
