A beautiful vintage hardback edition of The Children’s New Illustrated Encyclopaedia, published by Collins Clear-Type Press, London and Glasgow.

This copy is in very good condition for its age, with a clean, bright interior and well-preserved pages. The binding is solid and the book presents extremely well overall.

Prize Inscription (1953)
At the front of the book is an original handwritten prize inscription dated July 1953, awarded as a Head Boy’s Prize at Lime Tree School Sale Moor, presented by T. Brindley Esq. to Michael Steingfellow.
This adds a lovely sense of history and makes this copy particularly unique and collectible.
