Portrait of the Isles of Scilly (1967) by Clive Mumford ? Trinity Press Sold by Crappy Old Books ? Where the charm is dog-eared and the corners are bent. This lovingly written 1967 gem by Clive Mumford captures the soul of the Isles of Scilly before mass tourism and Instagram filters. With gentle prose, historical anecdotes, and a palpable affection for the islands, Portrait of the Isles of Scilly is part travelogue, part time capsule. Expect smugglers, shipwrecks, and more seagulls than you?d care to meet. Our copy? It?s seen things. The spine?s a bit cracked, the pages are a little tanned (aren?t we all?), and the previous owner may or may not have used it as a coaster. But the content? Pure vintage coastal magic. Crappy Old Books ? Books with baggage. And that?s the point. Great condition with good dust jacket. It is an ex-library book, but you woul not really know it from the outside, there is just one single stamp for Hillingdon Borough Libraries.
