London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1968. Sir James Caird's English Agriculture in 1850-51 is without doubt the most important single source for the study of mid-19th century agrarian conditions, as it was also the major work of this greatest of contemporary agricultural writers. Indeed, it was this book which established Caird's reputation as the leading authority of his day, and made such an impression that it was published also in the United States and was translated into French, German and Swedish. In English agriculture of the reader will find a comprehensive and penetrating survey of English farming and its prospects under the newly introduced regime of free trade.

London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1966. This new work by G. E. Fussell is a thorough examination of the role played by the English dairy farmer over the past 400 years. Beginning his study with the cow, he gives an account of the improved breeding and feeding methods that make todays cow a totally different beast to that of the Tudor farmer. A chapter is devoted to the cultivation of fodder crops and another to the comfort of the cow for, as the author states, pleasant conditions are an important factor in encouraging its productivity. The dairy industry, no less than any other in the 19th century, was the scene of numerous devices and inventions designed to improve milking methods.

Cornwall: Bossiney Books, 1994. "North Cornwall Camera is more-than a rich harvest of photographs, it is a celebration of Outstanding photography by Ray Bishop, one of the most respected photographers living and working in the Westcountry. Each Ray Bishop photograph conjures up something special - it can be amusing like the dog at the bar on the cover or dramatic and painful like the death of a security guard outside a Cornish bank. The great majority of these photographs are appearing in book form for the first time. The photographs though, often need an interpretation and Michael Williams, publisher and author, provides just that, giving us insights into some of the stories behind these pictures. They both care for this, their corner of Cornwall - and the combined result is a book which evokes the character and spirit of North Cornwall".................A FIRST edition of one of the increasingly popular Bossiney Books now out of print ..Michael Williams was the cricket loving founder of… Read More
