Hardback. Condition: Good. Green All Over is the sort of book that looks at a hedgerow, hears the distant cough of an AEC engine, and politely insists you hop aboard before the conductor rings the bell. Peter Aves steers us through 1955?1969?the last great, green-liveried age when country buses wore mossy hues, timetables were optimistic, and a ?request stop? meant you raised a hand like you?d just remembered the milk. It?s nostalgia, yes, but with rubber on the road: rural garages, damp platforms, route blinds promising villages that sound like they were invented by a children?s author with muddy shoes. Expect photographs you can almost smell?wet macs, warm radiators, and that metallic whiff of ticket punches?plus captions that gently remind you the countryside wasn?t all cream teas and corrugated shelters. The drivers look stoic, the conductors look brisk, and the buses? well, the buses look gloriously green, as if they?d rolled out of the hedges fully formed. There?s depot lore, route drift, and the steady tick of modernity arriving late and slightly out of breath. Aves writes like a patient timetable clerk with a poetic streak: precise enough to satisfy the enthusiast who can tell an RF from across a foggy village green, yet generous enough for civilians who simply enjoy the romance of a vehicle that stops anywhere a handkerchief flutters. The years 1955?1969 turn out to be a wonderfully awkward adolescence for rural transport?pre-motorway innocence meeting post-war ambition?captured with Capital Transport?s usual ?let?s get the angle right? zeal. This is a book for anyone who?s ever waited in drizzle and called it ?atmosphere.? It?s also for people who categorise summers by the tone of faded paint, and who believe a perfectly wound destination blind could end minor regional disputes. Put it on your coffee table and watch visitors confess to secret bus stop crushes. Put it by your bedside and dream of a conductor leaning in to say, ?Plenty of room upstairs, love,? even if you?re clearly on a single-decker. Condition? ?Good,? which here means honestly lived-in?like a seat cushion that still remembers the journey. A touch of shelf-wear, perhaps a whisper of past ownership, the bookish equivalent of a well-timed double-ding. In short: fully roadworthy, MOT?d by nostalgia, ready for service. Proudly offered by Crappy Old Books?whose name is ironic, their stock charmingly not. Bring exact fare (or at least exact ISBN): 9781854144249 . Title: Green All Over ? Country Buses 1955?1969 (2018). Author: Peter Aves. Publisher: Capital Transport. Condition: Good . All aboard.…
