The third and final volume of L.T.C. Rolt's autobiography. L.T.C.

This volume was published posthumously and is a fitting tribute to the man who, through his appreciation of the 'aesthetics of technology', could be said to have given a literary shape to the Industrial Revolution. Black cloth baords, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. x and 246 pages. ISBN: 0862999987. Slight slant to spine. Text block lightly browned. Contents clean.
