School and College Histories

A Portrait, colour portrait frontispiece and very numerous illustrations in colour from modern photographs and in b&w (or sepia) from historic photographs, engravings and line drawings, plan of school inside rear cover, 128 pp, sewn paperback, very slight rubbing at top and base of spine, otherwise in very good condition, Lancing College (West Sussex) 1998

26.9 x 20.4 cm, 550g, no ISBN

Primarily a book of excellent pictures, though there is a good deal of text, and not just descriptive captions.  See below the description from the book’s foreword, and the founder’s mission statement from inside the front cover.   

Another bibliographical conundrum – the book has no International Standard Book Number, so was unlikely to have been available to the general public.  The book also appears to have been issued in hardback.  Although our copy of the book is bound as a paperback, the covers have what are called ‘French flaps’, which are similar to dustwrapper flaps, though made of card. 

Long out of print.
