Cloth. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Rather worn and soiled. First Edition. Illustrated, octavo, pp 89, cloth very slightly worn, in a rather poor worn dustwrapper. [A highly individual copy, made of much greater interest to the enthusiast by the addition of 38 coloured and 3 black and white postcards mounted throughout the book. The postcard enthusiast may groan at the fact that these have been permanently mounted ; however the transport buff will merely welcome the additional images, and the fact that the information from the reverse of each postcard has been neatly annotated in ink next to it.] This unique copy comes with a copy of the same author's: OLD FARM TRACTORS. 1962. An ex-library copy, with the usual stamps and blemishes, the dustwrapper has been permanently sealed to the covers.
