Blue Guide - Wales And The Marches

Blue Guide: Wales and the Marches (1979) by John Tomes – Ernest Benn
From Crappy Old Books – Proud purveyors of pages that have seen things.

Step into 1970s Wales with John Tomes as your tweed-clad guide, weaving through windswept castles, misty hills, market towns, and all the sheep you can handle. Part history, part travelogue, Blue Guide: Wales and the Marches is a beautifully detailed survey of a region steeped in myth, rebellion, and rain. Whether you’re tracing Offa’s Dyke or just wondering what a "March" is, this is the book that tells you—earnestly, thoroughly, and with all the charm of a well-meaning uncle on a road trip.

Our copy? Think of it as a field-tested companion: a little battered, a bit foxed, possibly annotated by someone who took it very seriously in 1983.

Crappy Old Books – For people who still trust paper maps and pub recommendations from 1979.

Good condition.
