Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. First printing of the true first edition. No printed publication date but circa 1946. Illustrated with sixteen black and white full-page plates including frontispiece showing: Old Border Bridge, Berwick-on-Tweed', twenty area black and white maps to each chapter, and four maps to the front and rear free endpapers (all plates, maps and plans present as called for). With a two-page foreword by A. Kerr Clarkson. ***Very good in orange cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine and front board. The boards show some patches of fading at the top and tail of the spine and top of front board near the spine but are quite clean, having been protected by the dustwrapper. Edges of boards slightly rubbed but no bumps or creases, except for light creasing to the top and tail of the spine. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. There is some rippling to the cloth over the back board where the book must have been affected by water at some stage (also affecting the dustwrapper lightly). Page block edges clean with none of the usual foxing. Internally near fine with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Black and white map illustrated front and rear free endpapers showing: Celtic Northumberland, Roman Northumberland, Saxon Northumberland and Norman Northumberland respectively. Pages clean with no foxing - printed on thick paper. ***In a good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 15/-. Whilst largely complete, there are some areas of loss at the top and tail of the spine, and a closed tear at the top edge of the front panel with associated creasing. Edges of dustwrapper creased, nicked and rubbed. Very small loss and small tears to the corner tips of the dustwrapper. There is a long closed tear to the fore-edge of the front flap foldover. There is also some rippling to the back panel of the dustwrapper where the book must have been affected by water at some stage. Dustwrapper slightly rubbed and discoloured (being a plain white background). ***218mm x 162mm. 242 numbered pages, plus a one-page Epilogue, an Index and a two-page selection from the Castles, Bastles and Pele Towers which formed the English Gate at the back of the book. ***Chapters: 1.

Great North Road. ***'This is a book packed with facts, which are always interesting, and opinions advanced as facts, which are often exciting. The Vagabond has great literary courage. He assails the experts on such subjects as the Wall, and the Roman civilisation in Britain, with cheerful certainty and a knobbly verbal cudgel'. ---***---'The James Alder illustrations bring an obviously skilful artist's illuminating pen to the decoration of the pages'. - Newcastle Journal and North Mail (Quote and review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First printing of the true first edition, with all maps and plates present as called for, especially hard to find in its original fragile 1940s thin dustwrapper in largely complete condition. Only five copies listed on Copac, three copies listed on WorldCat. Of interest to the local North Country / Northumberland historian. Uncommon, especially in the fragile post-war dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. James Alder (illustrator).…
