Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition Thus. 1991. 203pp. B&W illustrations. The unclipped dust jacket has some light shelf wear with rubbing to the corner tips and bumping to top of spine. Both book and jacket are otherwise in very good condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. "Ian Hamilton was an unknown law student at Glasgow University until Christmas Eve 1950. On that night, assisted by Alan Stewart, Gavin Vernon, and Kay Matheson, he took the Stone of Destiny from beneath the Coronation Chair in Westminster Abbey and in doing so became a Scottish national hero. But this is not simply a book about a caper that made the news. It is a book about how a nation's conscience was pricked and how a simple symbolic act can change the way people think, act, and regard themselves for the rest of their lives.".
