No bumping or foxing, and the spine is tight. IMAGES: We provide at least two images of all our online books and stock books, so you can visualise the quality. PLEASE READ ON for more information and facts. ## ## The Battle of Britain by Neil R. Storey: In this concise and richly illustrated volume, historian Neil R. Storey captures the drama and significance of the Battle of Britain, fought in the skies over southeast England in 1940. With Hitler?s Luftwaffe poised to dominate the air and pave the way for invasion, Britain?s fate rested on the shoulders of RAF pilots flying Hurricanes and Spitfires?then among the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world.## ## Storey not only recounts the strategic and technological aspects of the conflict but also highlights the human stories behind the headlines: the courage of the RAF, the resilience of ground crews, and the steadfast spirit of civilians who watched the battle unfold above their homes. A compelling introduction to one of WWII?s defining moments, ideal for readers interested in military history, aviation, or Britain?s wartime experience.## ## Shire Books are a much-loved series of compact, illustrated guides that capture the rich tapestry of British heritage?everyday objects, crafts, architecture, rural life, and social customs that have shaped the nation's character. Initially designed for curious minds and collectors, these paperbacks have evolved into treasured resources for museum professionals, historians, teachers, and enthusiasts who appreciate the nuance and beauty in the ordinary. Each title delves into a specific topic?from old farm implements and Victorian chemists to vintage motoring memorabilia, canal architecture, woodworking tools, and bygone domestic gadgets. With sharp focus and approachable language, Shire Books offer not encyclopaedic depth, but a curated entry point that evokes nostalgia, curiosity, and connection to Britain's material past.## ## Their compact format, usually in A5 or smaller, makes them ideal for browsing or research, while the plentiful illustrations?often archive photos, line drawings, or colour images?add visual context that complements the text. Many editions are part of thematic series, such as Shire Albums, Discovering Series, Shire Archaeology, and later, the Shire Library. The series? distinctive numbered spines and clean cover designs have become collectable in their own right. Whether you're interested in historic tools, regional architecture, folk traditions, or industrial curiosities, Shire Books offers bite-sized insights with a big heart. They serve as windows into a Britain shaped by craftsmanship, local trades, innovation, and changing social norms, making them perfect additions to any specialist bookshop, personal library, or collector?s shelf.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
