Publication: Derby, Rolls-Royce Limited, 1955

Formatting: 4to, unpaginated.

Condition Report: Very Good. The green cloth boards remain remarkably firm and square, presenting with only light, generalised shelf-wear and a few faint handling marks. The spine is uncreased, tight, and boasts bright, unoxidised gilt lettering. Internally, the binding is solid with no splitting to the endpapers. The preliminary leaves show scattered, moderate foxing, but the interior text block is largely clean, displaying only standard, mild age-toning to the page peripheries. The black-and-white photographic plates remain sharp and well-preserved. Catalogue Note: A privately bound volume assembling nine individual issues of the Rolls-Royce Bulletin, spanning from July 1951 to July 1955.

Catalogue Note: Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the text offers substantial insight into the company's developments in early jet-age aviation, specifically featuring detailed articles on jet propulsion and the Avon engine.

While single, loose issues of the Bulletin from this era occasionally surface, bespoke contemporary bound runs of this nature are uncommon on the open market.

A superb mid-century archive for the motoring and aviation historian, this bound collection of the Rolls-Royce Bulletin offers an immersive, primary-source glimpse into British engineering during the early 1950s. Covering a transformative five-year span, the compilation charts the company's pioneering developments, including extensive coverage of their jet propulsion projects. Richly illustrated and factually dense, it stands as a testament to the post-war industrial ambition of one of Britain's most legendary marques.

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.
