50: Celebrating 50 Years of the Daimler & Lanchester Owners' Club, Matthew Waterhouse and Edmund Waterhouse — 1st Edition

Publication: Tarporley, Daimler & Lanchester Owners' Club, 2014

Formatting: Oblong 8vo, pp. 256.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The book remains firmly and squarely bound in its original pictorial boards, showing no discernible leaning or rolling to the spine. The extremities remain remarkably sharp, exhibiting only the most trivial hints of shelf-wear to the corners and spine ends. The hinges are tight and secure, suggesting the volume has seen very little use. Internally, the pages are exceptionally bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing, age-toning, or prior ownership markings. A beautifully preserved, tight copy.

Catalogue Note: A handsome first edition of this golden jubilee history, privately commissioned and issued directly to members of the Daimler & Lanchester Owners' Club.

This particular copy is elevated by the inclusion of a loosely inserted, typed welcome letter from Club President Matthew Waterhouse, dated August 2014, detailing the specific intentions behind the book's commissioning and the collaborative effort to bring it into print. The preliminary pages also feature a reproduced letter of congratulations from Buckingham Palace, signed by The Chief Clerk to The Queen on behalf of the monarch.

Due to its nature as a private club publication rather than a commercial trade release, the book remains uncommon on the general secondary market.

Published to commemorate the golden jubilee of the Daimler & Lanchester Owners' Club, this lavishly illustrated volume offers a comprehensive visual and historical record of the esteemed British automotive marques. Chronicling half a century of dedicated club activities, member vehicles, and the enduring engineering legacy of Daimler, Lanchester, and BSA cars, it stands as an essential reference and a celebratory tribute for classic car enthusiasts.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
