Condition

Very Good: Publisher’s original cloth binding remains well preserved overall, showing light shelf wear to the extremities. Spine is slightly sunned, with heavier rubbing at the head and general handling marks and surface scuffs along its length; gilt lettering and decorative elements remain legible and well-defined, though slightly softened with age. Three-tone cloth boards also show signs of handling but remain clean and presentable overall, with gilt detailing remaining clear and bright. Binding is square, tight, and secure. Endpapers contain notes and inscriptions. Text block shows faint age-related toning, though remains clean, fresh, and tidy throughout. Map and all illustrations, including the frontispiece, remain unblemished.

Description

First edition published by Longmans, Green, and Co., London, 1904. A detailed regimental history by Lieutenant-Colonel J. Watkins Yardley, documenting the service and traditions of the Inniskilling Dragoons, one of the British Army’s historic cavalry regiments. Regimental histories of this period were often produced in limited numbers and intended primarily for officers and associated institutions, making surviving copies increasingly desirable to collectors of military history and British imperial studies.

The volume provides a structured account of the regiment’s formation, campaigns, and operational history, with particular attention to its engagements and organisational development. Richly illustrated and supplemented with maps, it reflects the formal documentary style typical of early twentieth-century regimental publications.

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.
