Sinossi
Weights and measures being small antique objects with a background of great interest, have become an ideal and popular subject for the collector. The story of how they came to be used and developed is a long and fascinating one and this book not only tells that story but provides much information for collectors. In addition to their history, the book explains the reasons for the shapes, sizes and materials in which weights and measures are found. It also considers the legal controls exercised over the use of weights and measures and how these add to the interest of collecting. The many illustrations of verification stamps will assist collectors to identify and perhaps date examples in their own collection.

The story of how they came to be used and developed is long and fascinating. This book tells that story and provides much information for collectors, pointing out some of the pitfalls awaiting them and indicating the wide variety of remaining items. In addition to their history, the book explains the reasons for the shapes, sizes and materials found. It also considers the legal controls exercised over using weights and measures and how these add to the interest of collecting.Ähe. The many illustrations of verification stamps will assist collectors in identifying and perhaps dating examples in their collections. ## ## The late J. T. Graham had a considerable collection of old weights and measures and was a senior officer in a large local authority's weights and measures department. For eight years, he was the editor of The Monthly Review, the Institute of Trading Standards Administration (ITSA) journal, and of two books. ## ## Maurice Stevenson was also a senior inspector of weights and measures and an enthusiastic collector of old weights and measures in 1955 he formed a library for the ITSA which is now housed at the University of Sussex. From 1962 to 1974, he ran a Weights and Measures History Circle and edited its bulletin Libra and in 1979, carried out research at museums on old verification stamps under a grant from the British Academy.## ## Shire Books by Bloomsbury Publishing, a book publishing company based in London, England, and formerly by Shire Publications Ltd. and Osprey Publishing. Shire offers low-priced, concise non-fiction paperbacks on a wide range of subjects. Shire books cover antiques and collectables, motoring and rural history, archaeology and Egyptology, architecture, industrial history and many other topics.## ## They were founded in 1962 by John Rotheroe, the company based in Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. The first book published by Shire Publications was Discovering East Suffolk, a 24-page guide to the county through a series of five motoring routes and a gazetteer of the main towns and villages. They were given away to visitors via coach operators, local churches and tourist information points. The book was successful, and Shire publishers decided to sell the second edition because free copies were being sold, setting the template for the future of Shire. Over the following years, Shire expanded its Discovering series and launched several new series, including Lifelines, Shire Albums, Shire Archaeology and Shire Egyptology. ## ## In 2008, Shire began a revamp of its list. It announced that the former Shire series, including Life Lines, Shire Garden History and History in Camera, would be absorbed into a new series called Shire Library, which would retain and expand on the numbering system used by the old Album series, which has long formed the backbone of the Shire Library. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
