CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY ANNUALS (6 volumes): The Co-operative Wholesale Societies Limited ANNUALS 1911-1915 and 1918 (6 superb volumes)

Descripción

Six superb Annual volumes, a rare set, issued by the Co-operative Society, 1911-1915 and 1918 (its possible that the intervening volumes were not issued during WWI). Identical, highly ornate brown cloth hardbacks with gilt text and "unitas" motif (the 1918 volume as might be expected, due to the war, is a slimmer version). Apart from a little dusty and spotted top and fore-edges the books are in FINE condition with no real signs of use. Approximately 330 - 600 pages per volume. Amazing source material for many aspects of social history in the UK on the eve of WWI. Also historical data from 1864 onwards and comprehensively illustrated business premises illustrations from the UK and around the world. Pieces on railway accidents, UK tide tables, Ceylon estates, customs tariffs, along with long essays on such diverse subjects as the Co-op movement in relation to literature and art; the fraudulent relations of land and taxation; Lords and Commons in legislation and finance; modern Argentina, the world's cotton supply; the coal crises 1912; cost of living; and women in industry. A deep social history resource. Obviously a very heavy parcel of six volumes, not suitable for international mailing. 50% price reduction now applied. N° de ref. del artículo 000992
