"The Scottish Clans & Their Tartans" by W. & A. K. Johnston 1943 29th Edition 

Delve into the rich history and heritage of Scotland with this authentic vintage copy of "The Scottish Clans & Their Tartans" by W. & A. K. Johnston Ltd., published in 1943. This 29th edition offers a comprehensive guide to the various Scottish clans and their associated tartans, providing historical context and detailed, vibrant illustrations. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish genealogy, history, or textile traditions.

This book is in used vintage condition. The orange and off-white tartan-patterned hardcover shows signs of wear, including scuffing, discolouration, and some edge wear, consistent with its age. The spine also shows some wear at the top and bottom. The interior pages are generally well-preserved, with clear text and bright tartan illustrations. There are some unobtrusive pencil marks where a previous owner marked or drew a line at certain clans. These could potentially be erased but are not significantly distracting.

Beyond its core content, this edition includes fascinating period advertisements for Scottish attire and accessories from the 1940s, offering a glimpse into the cultural and commercial landscape of the time. This book is more than just a reference; it's a piece of history itself, making it a prized addition to any collection of vintage books or Scottish memorabilia.
