Publication: Derby, Rolls-Royce Limited, 1956-1958

Formatting: 4to, 5 issues bound in one volume, individually paginated.

Condition Report: Very Good. Bound in green cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, the boards remain structurally sound and the binding is tight and square. There is noticeable light rubbing to the extremities, including the spine ends, board edges, and corners, alongside a prominent white surface scuff to the centre-left of the front board. Internally, the pages remain bright, clean, and securely bound, free from significant foxing or tears, displaying only faint, natural age-toning to the margins. A handsome and well-preserved volume despite the external cloth blemishes.

Catalogue Note: A bespoke bound volume collecting five consecutive issues of the Rolls-Royce Bulletin, spanning from January 1956 to 1958. Originally issued as a high-quality in-house and customer promotional magazine, these bulletins meticulously document the post-war mid-century triumphs of Rolls-Royce across aviation, marine, and automotive engineering.

This particular collection features the January 1956 issue as its first inclusion, notably boasting the article "Craftsmen of Crewe" by Thomas H. Wisdom. This heavily illustrated piece details the heritage, hand-assembly, and testing of the Bentley Mark VI and Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn models.

Custom-bound issues of this periodical are relatively scarce on the open market, typically surfacing only as single, heavily handled paperbound magazines. This cloth binding presents a durable reference format likely commissioned contemporaneously by a dealership, private enthusiast, or internal employee.

Delve into the golden era of British engineering with this exceptional collection of the Rolls-Royce Bulletin. Lavishly illustrated with high-quality monochrome photography, these mid-century issues offer a fascinating, contemporaneous glimpse into the inner workings of Rolls-Royce Limited at their Derby and Crewe factories. From celebrating the meticulous craftsmanship behind their iconic motor cars to detailing their world-leading aero-engine developments, this volume serves as a premium historical record and a captivating read for automotive historians and classic car enthusiasts alike.

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.
