The National Trust Guide
to England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Compiled and Edited by Robin Fedden & Rosemary Joekes

Front Cover:

This book was published in 1977 by Jonathan Cape, London. The book measures 6 3/8 inches by 9 ˝ inches and contains 608 pages. The dust jacket shows signs of wear with some small chips to the edges. The actual cover of the book shows minor signs of wear, hardly worth mentioning. The title is in gilt on the spine. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips. The name of a previous owner is inscribed on the front free end page. The owner had marked in the margin in at least one spot what appears to be the year that they had visited Castle Coole, Co. Fermanagh in 1979. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of the book itself is good.
