A like new hardback copy in a very good unclipped dust jacket which does show a small amount of wear but only to its rear. Otherwise no discernible faults to book or jacket. Comes with interesting related ephemera loosely inserted. ERD Publications Exmouth, 4th impression 1984. 60 numbered pages including index. 125 colour & b/w Illustrations. 119.2 x 25.4 cm. Inns, and their names and signs, are an unique and integral part of the British landscape and our heritage and this beautifully produced and illustrated book describes, in an extremely readable, interesting and at times amusing way, the history of our inn signs and the intriguing stories behind many of them. Do you know the religious origins of the Lamb and Flag, the Cross Keys and the Salutation; the heraldic connexions with the Greyhound or the Rose and Crown; how the horrid and bloody sports of our forefathers gave rise to inns such as the Bull, or the Dog and Duck? If not, then this book is a fascinating and light way in which to improve your British geography, heraldry, and religious, social and political history. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.…

Terms of sale
We are a small rare book dealer based in Cheltenham, in the UK. We stock, typically, less than a thousand books -- all of them chosen because they have a strong appeal to us, and we think they will appeal to others. We have ended up specialising for no particular reason than we like them, in art, antiques, aviation, music, Irish books, birds...and some fiction modern first editions! But a few other goodies have crept in as well.
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Cheerleader Productions Ltd, Gloucester, Glos, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
