About the Author
Dave Moss has always had strong connections with the world of motoring, as a child he was a keen car-spotter, filling endless notebooks with registration numbers, and even today he is able to quote the original home areas of most old-style registration marks. He has been writing and broadcasting about cars and motoring matters since the 1970s.

Soft Cover Full Gloss. Condition: As New. No Jacket. ### Shire Publication - Number Plates by Dave Moss 2003: No.419 in Shire Album: A History of Vehicle registration. ### ## THIS BOOK: Classified as: AS NEW: A new style Shire book, dated 2003 EDITION. First published 2003. Glossy laminated coloured cover. No bumping, maybe a minor amount of shelf wear. The spine is tight, and the inside is immaculate. ## ## Number Plates - Registration marks are one of the very few unbroken links between the earliest days of the motor vehicle and the present day. In this book, the lengthy history of the humble British number plate is revealed. The system introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century had a straightforward purpose in identifying the place of origin of motor vehicles providing links to owners. As more and more vehicles came into use, the original system evolved through piecemeal development and sheer necessity to the point where adaptations changed it almost beyond recognition. This book looks back on the evolution of the British number plate, showing how the original, painstakingly developed system was gradually adjusted and modified in the light of escalating traffic growth, becoming riddled with ever more anomalies, until there was no alternative but to make a fresh start, with a brand-new system. ## ### YOU MAY FIND THIS INFORMATION INTERESTING - Read on ## ## This is a new style of the Shire books, much more information, and the binding is in full colour glossy. The printing is much clearer on better quality paper, which will mean longevity in the years to come. Newer subjects and updated earlier Shire publications made it an exciting step forward. ## ### Shire Publications are a series of books that have grown from 32, 64 pages and more depending on the subject. These books offer a wealth of information, social history and local history, and other books that aren't available could be lost. New authors and new and varied subjects are always well written and researched. ## ## In 2007, the company was acquired by Oxford-based military history publisher Osprey and operated from Osprey's offices in Oxford. During 2008 Shire began a revamp of its list. Shire announced that several former Shire series: including Life Lines, Shire Garden History and History in Camera, would be absorbed into a new series called Shire Library. Retaining and expanding the numbering system used by the old album series, which has long formed the backbone of the Shire Library. Books in the Shire Library were to have a new series cover design, as would reissued books in the Archaeology and Egyptology series. Shire further announced that Shire's list of forthcoming publications would include an increased number of new titles, as well as reissues of out-of-print titles and new editions of existing titles. In December 2010, Osprey Publishing, along with all the Shire titles, was acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
