Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 4th edition. 64 pages. signed by author, spine worn.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. A bound collection of typescript "Bulletins" , or in-house magazines, for a pre-war Scouting Group called "The Adventurers". Curiously there is no location or address, but a close reading shows the scout group have expeditions to a local wood, Leigh Wood, and The Vicar of Frome also gives talks. Leigh Wood is a 2 square kilometre (490 acre) area of woodland on the south-west side of the Avon Gorge, opposite the English city of Bristol. We therefore are confident this, or was, a Bristol based Scouting Group. The first page states "The Adventurer first issue published February 23rd 1937". There is then a page of original signatures, 32 in all, above the manuscript signed legend "Vol 1 No. 1. E. D. Strange". We believe this is the first issue editor. So we then have Vol. 1 No. 1, followed by Vol. 1, No. 2.till we reach Vol. 1, No. 6. The final page bound in states, in typescript "The Adventurer ceased publication September 13th 1937". So, a monthly publication, and every issue present here. The last few pages are preceded by the statement "Some Originals". For these few pages the blue ink has run and so there is some smudging. Several of the last pages are tissue guarded. The collection is professionally bound in black buckram, 17 x 20 cms, with the title gold blocked on the top board. Perhaps this was the magazine editor's own file copy? The collection runs to to 85 pages approximately, but is unpaginated.…
