A History of Keighley
Ian Dewhirst
Keighley Corporation, 1st edition 1974
A history of this Yorkshire town through the ages written by the well known local historian Ian Dewhirst.
Not an especially uncommon book and usually found as a paperback or with plain red buckram boards, however this copy unusual in being in a half-leather binding with an official Borough of Keighley presentation label to ‘P. Taylor’ affixed to front paste-down.
Hardback. Red half-leather over red buckram boards; marbled effect endpapers; presentation plate. pp viii, 157, including b/w illustrations. Size: 8.75 x 5.75 inches approx. (220mm x 146mm).
A nice, clean copy and uncommon in this binding – handsome indeed.
