Condition Report: Near Fine. The glossy pictorial boards remain exceptionally bright and clean, showing only negligible surface wear and minor, faint rubbing to the extreme spine ends and corners. The binding is entirely square and remarkably tight, indicative of an unread copy. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from creases, spotting, or foxing, presenting a highly attractive, well-preserved example.

Catalogue Note: First Edition. Issued in rigid pictorial boards without a dust jacket, as published. The volume is profusely illustrated throughout with historical black-and-white photographs, complemented by a dedicated colour section and detailed endpaper maps.

This comprehensive local history has become increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly in hardback form and in such sharp, well-preserved condition.

A highly sought-after and definitive guide to the rugged, historic landscape of the Anglezarke region in Lancashire. Spanning the picturesque areas of Belmont, Heapey, Heath Charnock, Rivington, and White Coppice, M. D. Smith’s meticulous research unearths a wealth of previously unseen documentation and rare photography. This engaging account chronicles over a century of local heritage, capturing the transformation of the moors, reservoirs, and isolated communities that define this idyllic yet often overlooked corner of the North West.

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.
