Remnants of a very torn and worn dust jacket loosely laid in.
From the preface: "If you desire a Guide Book, this volume is not the book for you. If you want a rhapsody on week-ending in a village, complete with stories about the local inhabitants, still less is this a book for you. But if you love the country and want to understand it better so that you may love it more, come and see Shropshire with me - for Shropshire is one of the few bits of England that remain England".
