The Place-Names of Cheshire: Part Five (Section 1:i), J. McN. Dodgson — First Edition

Publication: Cambridge, English Place-Name Society, 1981

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 255.

Condition Report: Very Good. The blue cloth binding is exceptionally sharp and tight, featuring unbumped corners and no discernible shelf-wear; the gilt tooling to the spine remains brilliant and entirely unoxidised. Internally, the text-block is robustly bound and the pages are remarkably clean and crisp, devoid of any foxing or moisture damage, showing only a very faint hint of dust to the top edge. A neat, contemporary ownership inscription in ink ("David Gould 18 January 1982") is present on the front free endpaper. The original dust jacket is unclipped and largely intact, though it exhibits some moderate toning to the spine alongside minor rubbing and slight, shallow chipping to the extremities, particularly at the spine ends and corners. Overall, a highly presentable and structurally sound copy.

Catalogue Note: First edition. Volume XLVIII in the esteemed English Place-Name Society series. This specific volume meticulously details the place-names of the City of Chester and the elements of Cheshire place-names from A to Gylden.

Copies retaining their original dust jackets in such unsunned condition for the cloth are increasingly uncommon on the open market. Single volumes within this extensive, long-running academic series are often heavily worn or entirely separated from their jackets, making this a desirable acquisition for the regional historian or toponymy scholar.

An essential resource for linguists, historians, and local scholars, this volume forms a crucial segment of J. McN. Dodgson's authoritative survey of Cheshire's toponymy. It offers an exhaustive, etymological exploration of the City of Chester's historical street and place names, alongside a comprehensive glossary of regional place-name elements. Dodgson's rigorous scholarship uncovers the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, and Norman roots embedded within the county's geography, providing invaluable insights into the historical settlement and cultural evolution of the region.

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.
