For Tim and interested others...
After much searching I located this paperback on my bookshelves today-
Found in a old second hand book shop in Edinburgh a number of years ago. It is a much sought after work I believe.
Has the British Library got a copy? Just one thought, didn't Penguin publish their non-fiction in blue under the Pelican imprint? Other than that, brilliant.
You are indeed correct, apart from those editions destined to be sold to tourists within Tradgardland itself, which of course were rose coloured and were a very limited Penguin run.
Ha ha, that's brilliant! Good ol' Dame Veronica. As a small Catholic state close to Denmark and Sweden, Tradgardland may have had a perilous time. Did the Lion of the North pay a visit? The pikemen look great, by the way.
Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteI'd buy a copy if it was reprinted.
All the best,
Bob
A collectors item!, Tony

ReplyDeleteI envy your old bookstores over there! Hard to find books like that in the US. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a rare find, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that was on my university reading list.
ReplyDeleteThat is a charming bit of wit! All the best to you Alan.
