Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Wear, tears and marks to D/J. From a band of rebel's to an organisation almost as important as the Post Office; from weekend patrols to full scale actions as colourful and as exciting as those carried out by the services; from a handful of conspirators to a force almost as public and as familiar as the police. Preventing rail smashes, encoutering strayed lions and escaped convicts, returning an elephant to its owner, rescuing from flood and fire - these services, as well as those that cope with puncture, breakdown, cold engine and collision, are only some of the subjects of the anecdotes and sidelong glances at our British way of life that make up this impressive and entertaining book. It is a readable, often amusing, but always fascinating story that David Keir and his distinguished contributors tell in this golden jubilee history of the Automobile Association - an organisation unique in our social history, one whose well known initials could stand for the Automobile Age itself. Illustrated. 240 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
