Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
The small Herefordshire village of Orcop, with its scattered farms and cottages, is rimmed by a ring of hills which have, for centuries, served to isolate it from the world around. A fascinating amalgram of events and personalities that over the centuries combined to create the Orcop of today. Brown cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and maps. 304 pages. ISBN: 1854211943. Top edge of text block is lightly browned with minor foxing. Else a lovely clean copy. Black dustwrapper is scuffed.
