Brown cloth binding with gilt decoration and lettering to front. Corners rubbed, ends of spine rubbed, white thread showing on edges in places. Gilt edges to pages still VG. "The form and order of the services which are to be performed in Abbotsholme-School (sic) Chapel on the occasion of the old-boys' Easter Gathering; and the form and order of sundry other services." Extra number of The Abbotsholmian Second Edition, 1912 (which we take to mean this was the second extra number, not that this was the 2nd Edn of the Liturgy). The last item of the liturgy was the singing of the School Song, "The Love of Comrades" - would this have been echoing in the old boys' ears 30 months later as they fell under the monstrous fire of the Hunnish machine guns? We may never know.

About Scarthin Books ABA, ILAB

Scarthin Books is based in a three-storey, 2000 sq.ft. shop overlooking the millpond which powered Arkwright's world's-first cotton mill in the hamlet of Scarthin in the village of Cromford, Derbyshire on the edge of England's first National Park, the Peak District. Our ABE list comprises only some of our more valuable, fragile or esoteric stock; our main business remains selling new, second-hand and antiquarian books and music over the counter to flesh-and-blood clients. We also house a home-cooking cafe, serving vegetarian (and some vegan and gluten-free) hot and cold dishes and refreshments. The cafe also hosts meetings of the Cafe Philosophique and Conversation Cafe and regular meetings of Amnesty International and Buddhist Meditation groups, as well as occasional book launches and other gigs. With nearly 100,000 titles in stock, we have since 1974 been evolving towards what a bookshop should really be like. You will feel very much at home here. Our hours are 9-6; 10-6 on Sundays (last cafe orders 5.15)and we close only on Christmas and Boxing Days. Our website www.scarthinbooks.com is also fun.
