Goodbye to Yorkshire

Format: Hardback

Condition: Poor Condition — £4.71
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The author was born in Yorkshire and spent his first thirty years in the county before leaving in 1964 to become the Member of Parliament for Sparkbrook. Yorkshire, he believes, is an idea as well as a place, representing as it does a set of particular values: the desire to compete and the need to win, a certainty about one's own virtues and scepticism about other people's convictions, a faith in the triumph of industryand the victory of thrift, aggression that gets men knocked down and pride that makes them stand up again. He here describes the places where he learnt the Yorkshire values, but this is not only about cities and rivers and towns - it is a tribute to great Yorkshire institutions.
