Featherstone, Donald F

Published by Stanley Paul, London, UK, 1968

First edition, fourth printing. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. 168pp, with monochrome illustrations. Cream cloth-covered boards, brown lettering on the spine. Pale green endpapers. 8vo. Cloth a little worn and gently pushed at spine ends. Upper text block edge dust darkened, remaining edges a little spotted. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original, worn, chipped and edge-rubbed, dust wrapper. This copy from the library of the late George R P Gush, to whom it is inscribed. Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames. His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic. He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007. A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
