London, The British Library & Public Record Office. 1999, 1st Edition. (ISBN: 0712346376) Hard Cover with dust jacket, Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

Britain's rich historical heritage is witnessed in the archives contained in The British Library and Public Record Office. From King Arthur, Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror, to the end of Empire and the Commonwealth, the swinging 60s and multi-cultural Britain, the volume displays, in chronological order, treasures and key documents from these and other sources which illuminate defining moments in British history.
