Book Description Hardback. Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. The British system for conferring honours upon its loyal and deserving subjects is a constant source of speculation, anticipation and even outrage. This is the first book to put the insatiable British mania for titles into its historical perspective. The author shows how the modern system, with all its seemingly archaic and bizarre trappings, its glttering ceremonials, strict protocol, pomp and circumstance, has its roots in the Age of Chivalry. This mint unread copy is bound in cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine, tight, white, bright and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in mint condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. Ref AA3. Seller Inventory # 016702
