Possibly the best TYW book in the world

 I bought this book June 1982 . I recall coming home from an evening out and finding it having been delivered by the postman. It has been in my library ever since and I still refer to it . A visual delight and full of fascinating information.

  3. Yup. Picked up a copy at a clearance table decades ago. Great reference or way of passing time.

  5. A lovely book, a must for TYW reference.

    I have a facsimile paperback copy which is getting a bit tired now; ideally I would like a hardback; some possible ones found on Bookfinder in the £65+ range

    I'll see how much I have in my piggy bank :)
