Description:

Book is Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Brown cloth binding, Reprint,
W. & R. Chambers & The Mercat Press, Edinburgh, 1977. A nice set of of all five in the fortified house series. The first four are the later reprint editions by Mercat Press.These four were published in 1977, Volume V was printed in 1970 by W&R Chambers, and is the first edition. The set was clearly owned by a keen scholar of Tranter's work, as there are many newspaper and magazine clippings of castles and keeps inserted appropriately throughout. Most are laid in loose, though there is one brown tape mark whose clipping has since wandered. There are also a sparse number of pen annotations and underlinings. These are not too annoying as they are done neatly with serious academic intent, perhaps adding an index reference here or there. The insides are clean and bindings tight, there is light corner rubbing and generally the volumes have been very well cared for. The wrappers are tight and respectable, though with much surface rubbing, cornerwear and a few edge tears. The numbers 1 to 5 have been penned on the spines, perhaps the roman numerals are too much for some! Overall then, a decent set ready for some more serious academic use. We are selling the set together as it reached us, however, we can offer a substitute for volume V with the Mercat press printing, which would be more uniform. Please email us to indicate which version you would like before ordering, and let us know your location to allow us to calculate postage costs.
