Very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
Sandwiched between two exciting periods - the 20s made legendary by the vintage movement and the unforgettable 40s - is the eventful and significant 30s. This book explains why more cars were sold than ever before at a time when the country was supposed to be in a desperate economic state. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 216 pages including index. ISBN: 0850593654. Base of spine lightly shelf-rubbed. Spine is slightly cocked. Contents clean. Price-cut yellow pictorial dustwrapper is lightly edge-creased. A very nice copy.
