An account of Buckingham's towns, castles, churches, monuments, picturesque scenery and antiquities. This wonderful old book describes the history of Buckinghamshire and its people as far back as Roman times. It describes all the main towns individually and gives a glimpse of life in each. As well as lots of details about the way people lived, the customs and trades of the area.

Illustrated with nine engravings and a lovely pull out county map.

MORE INFORMATION:

Particularly well described is agricultural life, its difficulties and the "modern" ways of overcoming problems. For example the "Mill Churn" machine, worked by a horse, which took a great deal of hard labour out of churning milk. Some of the new machines were less welcome, the local women occupied in lace making, as most were, found their pay greatly reduced after the introduction of lace manufacturing machinery.

This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.

"CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:

• faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected
• over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear

They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.
