Dear Mike,
For a 248pp. large format HB £25.00 inc. post copy of what sounds a
v.interesting vol., please supply same per prev. please.
Whilst I understand what Tony is saying, inc. post with the above is fair,
and (all), don't forget, by the time one has packed it and gone to the PO
and paid the postage, this is actually worth at least £4 these days, so £22
for what sounds like a rather special HB vol. sounds ok with me.
Regards, Bernard

H G (Geoffrey) Ordish was born in 1901 and made his first visit to Cornwall
as early as 1915. He later visited Cornwall regularly, visiting mine
sites,
often with his friend the mining historian, A K Hamilton Jenkin. The 200
plus photographs in this collection, H G Ordish: The Early Mining
Photographs, were all taken between 1920 and 1933. Most have never been
published before – indeed there has not been a book devoted to Geoffrey
Ordish’s mining photographs since two rather unsatisfactory paperbacks
appeared in the 1960s. Despite this his pictures have always been held in
high regard by those with a serious interest in Cornish mining.
The photographs in this book were all taken on a small Kodak ‘Vest Pocket’
camera and cover mine sites across the whole of Cornwall. Some give new
insights into well-known mines – there is for example a splendid sequence
from Levant – while others are now the sole record of small, forgotten
workings. Cornish mining was at a low ebb during this period and so
photographs are much less common than those from the years of prosperity.
Tony Clarke, who has prepared the photos for publication, has contributed a
Preface with his memories of Geoffrey Ordish and notes on his camera and
techniques.
H G Ordish: The Early Mining Photographs is available as a 248 page large
format paperback . There will be a limited hardback edition of 100 copies
at
£25.00
