Wray and District Remembered: A Photographic History of the Life and Times of a Working Village, David Kenyon — First Edition

Publication: Wray, David Kenyon, 2008

Formatting: 4to, pp. [viii], 258.

Condition Report: Very Good. The glossy card wrappers exhibit minor shelf-wear, primarily presenting as slight rubbing to the extremities, a gentle curl to the fore-edge of the front cover, and mild bumping to the corners. The spine remains uncreased, and the binding is reassuringly tight and square. Internally, the text block is clean, bright, and completely free from foxing or internal markings, presenting a highly presentable and well-preserved copy.

Catalogue Note: First Edition. This comprehensive regional history is heavily illustrated throughout with archival black-and-white photographs chronicling the Lancashire village of Wray.

Notably, this copy bears the author's signature and date ("David Kenyon. 2009.") in black ink to the title page. Self-published works of specific local interest typically experience limited print runs, rendering exact-match signed copies uncommonly seen on the secondary market.

Wray and District Remembered offers an evocative photographic journey into the life and times of a working Lancashire village. Compiled by David Kenyon, this rich local history documents the everyday lives, landscapes, and shifting fortunes of the community through a fascinating collection of historical images. Accompanied by detailed contextual history, it provides an invaluable visual record for local historians and residents 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.
