Hardback. Etat : Good. Ah, The Channel Islands (1979) by Robin Mead ? a book that understands the subtle art of being both British and not-quite-British at the same time. Published by Batsford in 1979, this is the sort of volume that takes you gently by the elbow and says, ?Come along, let?s consider Jersey and Guernsey properly.? Not just as postcard destinations with suspiciously tidy harbours, but as places with layered history, granite dignity, and a faint air of polite independence. Robin Mead approaches the islands with that distinctly late-1970s tone: informed, measured, mildly enthusiastic, and very keen that you appreciate the fortifications. Expect chapters that balance landscape, architecture, wartime history, parish churches, and the quiet thrill of a coastline that has seen more than it lets on. There will be references to tides. There may be diagrams. There is almost certainly a sentence that begins with ?Strategically situated?? This is not a flashy travel guide promising cocktails and sunset selfies. This is serious island appreciation. It?s the kind of book that makes you feel slightly underdressed if you read it without at least a map and a cup of tea. You can almost hear the crunch of shingle under sensible shoes. And of course, there is something wonderfully ironic about a book about semi-autonomous islands that has spent time as an ex-library copy . This one has done public service. It has stood dutifully on municipal shelves, possibly under a classification label that suggests ?Geography, but quite niche.? It has been stamped, borrowed, returned. It has seen things. It may even have accompanied someone?s cautious holiday planning in the early 1980s, when the height of excitement was a ferry timetable and a practical raincoat. Condition is Good , which in ex-library dialect means robust, honest, and bearing the gentle insignia of its institutional past. Expect the usual stamps or labels ? small badges of civic honour that add character rather than detract. After all, if a book about the Channel Islands hasn?t endured a little weathering, what are we even doing? Ideal for collectors of regional history, lovers of slightly under-the-radar British geography, enthusiasts of granite, tides, and constitutional quirks, and anyone who likes their travel writing with a side of fortification diagrams. As sold by Crappy Old Books , where even the islands come second-hand ? but remain impeccably strategic. N° de réf. du vendeur 5707
