Product Description

Near fine cloth copy in a very good if slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Dust wrapper slightly dust-toned as with age. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong.Physical description: 1 v. : xi, 282p. ; 32 cm. Subjects: Victoria history of the counties of England - Indexes. Great Britain - History, Local. England - History - Research. Review: "[The VCH] is the indispensable starting point for all study of English local history....Every library fortunate enough to possess earlier VCH volumes will certainly wish to add this study. Other collections with special interests in local British history, Roman civilization, or Domesday analyses also should order it." --Choice.
