COTTAGE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD. By Brian Plummer.
ND (1989) 1st edition. 8vo (158 x 240mm). Pp157. B/w illustrations by Sonas McLean. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt.
Brian Plummer describes his move from Staffordshire to Caithness and his attempts at self-sufficiency there. * This first edition closely resembles the 2007 reissue. This first edition is identifiable because; 1. It was printed by St Edmundsbury Press and this is stated on the reverseof the title-page. This is not present in the 2007 reissue. 2. The first edition's front dust-wrapper flap begins, "In June 1985 Brian Plummer experienced a severe coronary...". The rear dust-wrapper flap begins, "Brian Plummer is well-known to all followers of field sports...". These texts are transposed in the 2007 reissue.
