The pictorial wrappers remain exceptionally bright and clean, with only very marginal rubbing to the extreme corners and edges, maintaining a highly presentable appearance. The binding is remarkably tight and square, featuring an unbroken, uncreased spine that indicates the volume has scarcely been read. Internally, the text block is sharp, crisp, and entirely free from foxing, age-toning, or previous ownership markings, resulting in an excellent, well-preserved copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the 1994 revised and extensively enlarged second edition of Alexander Nicolson's definitive history, originally published to immediate acclaim in 1930. Edited by Dr. Alasdair Maclean and locally published by the Maclean Press on the Isle of Skye, this iteration benefits from the inclusion of newly referenced bibliographical sources, full translations of Gaelic texts, and numerous appendices that were absent from the first edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe striking cover features 'The Cuillins from Ord' by Horatio McCulloch, reproduced with permission from the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eDue to its status as a locally issued regional history, this specific 1994 Maclean Press paperback printing has become increasingly uncommon on the open market, prized by collectors and local historians alike for its expanded content over the 1930 original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eConsidered the most comprehensive and authoritative history of the Isle of Skye yet written, Alexander Nicolson's magisterial survey chronicles the island's prominent families, social evolution, and rich literary heritage. From the deep-rooted clan histories of the MacLeods and MacDonalds to detailed explorations of the island's striking landscape and traditions, this enduring work remains an invaluable resource for anyone whose life or lineage has been touched by the misty isle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55646312956243,"sku":"6588","price":47.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261022_131922.jpg?v=1793195213","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/history-of-skye-alexander-nicolson-2nd-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
