Rolling Around the WorldAn Autobiography

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £26.68
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.

This is partly autobiography, partly history of an engineering firm serving the World Steel Industry and partly of its customers. There are chapters about life at Davy-United in Sheffield and chapters about 36 countries where there were significant events. Candid portraits of colleagues and clients, anecdotes, funny stories, and jokes litter the pages, whilst in appendices, there are summaries of family background, growing up at Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, school life, life in the Army and university, a lifelong interest in New Orleans Jazz, jokes near the bone, professional activities, and recent 'career' as organiser of over 80 concerts in Martock Church in Somerset.
