VERY GOOD CONDITION
This sale is for a large size vintage hardback FIRST EDITION entitled “The Clerks of the Counties 1360-1960,” compiled by Sir Edgar Stephens, C.B.E., M.A., F.S.A., with a Foreword by The Rt. Hon. The Viscount Kilmuir, G.C.V.O., Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain and numerous photographic and other illustrations and a frontispiece map showing the Counties of England and Wales in 1960.
It was published by The Society of Clerks of the Peace of Counties and of Clerks of County Councils, and appears to be the 1961 (date of title page and Foreword) FIRST EDITION.
The book measures 11.3 inches x 9.5 inches x 1.25 inches and has 274 pages + illustrations.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are
significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view
of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
