A propos de cet article

Demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full embossed faux-leather cloth sans dust jacket, pp. 425, indexed. Illustrated with b-w halftones, &tc.

Malcolm was a key figure in establishing the Clan Fergus(s)on Society of North America from his home in Silver Springs, Maryland and Norman also promoted and was actively involved in Clan Fergus(s)on events. Their book was an off-shoot of this involvement. In exceptionally good condition.…
