Towards the End of the Line: A History of the Mackarell Family from the 17th Century to the Present, William J. Mackarell — 1st Edition

Publication: Potts Point, William J. Mackarell, 2017

Formatting: Oblong 4to.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The binding remains remarkably tight and square, displaying no discernible lean and holding the text block firmly. The pictorial boards are exceptionally bright and clean, free from any significant rubbing, bumping, or shelf-wear to the extremities, indicating the volume has been handled with great care. Internally, the book is pristine; the pages remain crisp, bright, and entirely free from foxing, markings, or tonal degradation, suggesting the volume has been carefully stored and scarcely read since publication.

Catalogue Note: A remarkably scarce privately published first edition. Produced by Broadcast Books and printed by Ligare Pty Ltd in Sydney, this work was issued in a highly limited capacity for the author. The book features a charming cover reproduction of a watercolour sketch of 'Mackarell's Cottage' by Muriel Sibley, utilised with the permission of the Formby Civic Society.

Given its highly specific subject matter and private publication status, copies of this work are exceptionally scarce on the open market. It stands as an elusive acquisition for both local historians of Lancashire and genealogical researchers focusing on the Mackarell diaspora.

Driven by a lifelong curiosity about his unusual surname, William J. Mackarell embarked on a comprehensive genealogical journey to trace his family's roots. Towards the End of the Line chronicles the fascinating history of the Mackarell family, beginning in the 1600s in Lancashire, England, and following their eventual migration and expansion into Australia, New Zealand, and America. Highly detailed and clearly presented, it stands as a testament to familial heritage and the enduring nature of ancestry across centuries and continents.

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.
