The only Not in Heckmonwike Heckmondwike second hand book shop
A 1948 reprint both book and dj vg+. All about Arran for Holiday Maker, Hiker, Mountaineer, Historian, Geologist and Naturalist, no mention of Chief Cook and Bottle washer. 164 pages 170 X 110cm (I would normally have used inches but 1/2 inches make it difficult to type.
I offer it at £2.50 (+p&p if you are not visiting my shop)
Not a publisher that lasted a long time, but they did publish some authors other publishes didn’t. What they did though is spend time choosing some great covers. Unusually I have included a large number in this blog. I did choose one of their covers for my title page.
Even the less than inspiring subjects have great illustrators.
Stock I have not done a recent stock check but I am confident that I have these titles. NOTE postage not included. Please let me know if you are interested in any of these title notinheckmondwikebookshop@gmail.com

I tried to find a decent precis of this book, but think it is two books and has been published in many formats, working on the principle that the cover gives a bit of a clue and that anyone willing to pay the £10 I am asking for this book will know exactly what this is about, I have stopped searching.
