Like most second hand book dealers I am reluctant to throw anything away and like most second hand book dealers a miscellany of material materialises whilst you have your back turned.
This lots is miscellaneous 40’s and 50’s. You are probably too late to take up the “Special Pattern and Transfer Offer”. I included the motoring review of the Morris Oxford from the Men’s Magazine knowing how up to date my readers are.

The Dalesman was first published in March of 1939 as “The Yorkshire Dalesman”. From March 1939 to November 2020 At the moment I have every issue in stock along with other “Dalesman” publications I have a total of 1206 items in stock offered for sale.
The Dalesman is still going strong and is the UK’s best selling regional magazine, I would obviously claim it is the best regional magazine as it is about the best County in England or indeed the world.
They make excellent Birthday or anniversary presents, much better than a Birthday card for Yorkshire Lads and Lasses.
The Index for Number one includes; Dales Folk by Ella Pontefract, Historian wanted for Kettleswelldale by C J Cutcliffe-Hyne, A Yorkshire Climbing Nursery by Godfrey Wilson, The Man of the Dales by W Riley, Past and Present in the Dales by M’Duke Miller, Do you know the Hill Brunillo? by Lettice Cooper, Adult Education in Craven, What Town Planning Means by F R Birkhead, It was still raining by Leonard Cooper, The Vacant Wine-Red Moor by Donald Boyd, The “Three Peaks”, Stories of Craven’s Grand Old Man by Norman Thorner and Public Access to Mountains by A Creech Jones MP.
I do have an ambition to list all the idiocies in a searchable data-base, but as I say, that is an ambition.
I do have a copy of number one with half the front page missing (cover) I am willing to sell that for £5 with a photocopy of the missing piece.
