The Wayside Book by Gilbert Rumbold - This gorgeous book by Gilbert Rumbold I think is a real ttreasure. It ambles around the country in the year of 1934, illustrated brightly in orange green and white - very art deco in appearance, ,illustrating the treasures of the British countryside from Kent Oast houses, to Ann Hathaway's Cottage, but with an emphasis on Inns, and hotels - and musings such as why ancient man did not scratch 'Homio Sapiens loves Eliza Piltdown' in Wookey Hole Caves. A 1st edition, in its dustwrapper, of this delight costs only £6.00 plus postage on our website - simply click on the illustration and follow to purchase (unless someone has beaten you to it and bought it already!).
