All items/parcels valued at a total of £25.00 or more sent outside the UK will have the cost of tracking added to the postage. No exceptions will be made to this rule. Sorry I have to d...o this but Royal Mail will only pay £20.00 compensation for loss on untracked parcels. I am happy to provide shipping quotes before you bid. On offer is a nice example of a book titled "The Book of Miles Aircraft" by A. H. Lukins. It was printed in England by Henderson & Spalding, and was published by the Harborough Publishing Company Ltd. The book is undated but I think this is a 1st edition from 1944. Please look carefully at all the pictures as they form part of the item description.The book contains 88 pages bound in blue hard boards (they look cloth covered). Titling to the front and spine are in gold gilt, but the spine has faded and so has the lettering. There is also a gold bird of prey image on the front cover which I think was the company logo. There is bumping and rubbing to the corners and edges of the cover and also to the top and bottom of the spine. The cover is a bit grubby and marked, and has a slight curve to it along with an indent at one corner. This is from storage that would probably flatten. The book gives an account of all Miles aircraft types built up to 1944. Throughout the book are numerous photo illustrations, line drawn diagrams and articles about the aircraft. There are also aircraft related advertisements at the rear of the book. The pages are all lightly tanned with age but there are no rips, scribbles or repairs to them. There is no dedication in the book. The binding is good and firm. On the last sheet is a printed star - I'm told that this is the printers quality star stamp. Despite the cosmetic faults this is a lovely old book that makes really interesting reading. It would be a good addition to any collection. !!!Please look at all the pictures as they form part of the item description!!!
