Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

xvii, 361, [1] adverts. With the vignette of Lunar Mountains and Plains to the title page, and many illustrations in the text. The frontis plate of Lunar Shadows is supplied by a copy (thanks, Sally!), and the front free endpaper is a matching replacement. Much enlarged from the 1852 first edition, published only 6 months earlier. The title page is soiled, and the front pastedown bears an early ownership name: the rear free endpaper appears to have been stuck down. The text is generally clean, with a small brown mark to the top edges in the latter half of the book, and some soiling or tanning to pp250-266. c.14.5 x 9.5cms, in the original binding of brown cloth ruled and decorated in blind, with a new matching cloth spine titled in gilt. Mann later became president of the Royal Meteorological Society, and was a noted scientific populariser. After the introductory chapter written for this edition, the text takes the form, often adopted for 'educational' books at the time, of short questions and pithy answers, but here interspersed with detailed explanations in smaller print for the grown-ups. At the back are notes, and an index. A very nice copy.

Descrizione dello Store

The bookshop is in a former Primitive Methodist Chapel in the centre of Westleton, opposite the post office stores and backing on to the duck pond. I moved here in 1977 and have been selling books since 1982, and it has become a favourite destination for many visitors to the area. Since 1999 I have been listing a small part of my stock online, through abe and my own website at chapelbooks.com . We are open 7 days a week, 12 to 5, often longer in summer, and with rare exceptions in winter. We welcome telephone enquiries: try at any time - we are often here outside shop hours. There are more than 10,000 books on the shelves, in all subject areas, from 50p to £100, with rarer books in reserve. We also sell vinyl (LPs). We regret that access for wheelchair users is limited. The premises are unheated. The turning to Westleton is about quarter of a mile north of Yoxford on the A12. Buses are rarely seen here. The nearest rail station is Darsham (3 miles). People have been known to look for us in Saxmundham: it is our 'post town' but it is 7 miles away. With Aldeburgh to the south and Southwold to the north, this area is rich in a quiet and unmountainous beauty, excellent walking and cycling country. Heathland, forest, and the RSPB reserve at Minsmere are on the doorstep. The lost city of Dunwich is 3 miles away: as, at present, is the North Sea which took it.
