Caernarvonshire Vol 1:  East
The Royal Commission on Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire, 1956.  Large heavy 4to, 78+215pp inc index followed by hundreds of photo ills on 100 plates.  This is the first of the three Caernarvonshire vols, providing an illustrated record of the ancient buildings and earlier remains of the eastern third of the county.  It includes a full account of the castle, walls and other monuments of Conway, described as 'perhaps the finest surviving example in Britain of a fortified town'.  Elsewhere on the internet is a rather worn ex-library copy without a d/w at £80.  For the same price you could buy our very nice clean copy (AND ours is post-free), easily VG but in a d/w badly affected by silverfish - the book itself is unaffected, though.  (ref 1176)  £80.00
