These were the towers that played a central role in everyday life in the Borders during the later Middle Ages and immediately after the Reformation. Large format. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and diagrams.
A lovely copy with the addenda & corrigenda inside the back cover. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased and has a few minor marks.
