The Wild Places: Robert MacFarlane 1st Edition

Signed first edition of The Wild Places by Robert MacFarlane. Dustjacket fine condition. £35 at RSPCA bookshop 188 Mill Road, Cambridge.

Britannica: 1926 set

Complete set with supplements. Good condition except that binding colour is not fast (one of our helpers has a pink-stained t-shirt to demonstrate this!)

Considerably less bulky than the later editions but you would still need a vehicle to transport it home.

Very interesting reference for history of the twenties and only £30 at our bookshop, 188 Mill Road, Cambridge.
