Antiquarian and Old Books
Songs of the Open Road, the classic and very rare book by Alice Gillington. It is a book of music and the words for several Romani songs, mainly noted in the New Forest. The first edition came out in 1911 and I have never seen a copy, it is so rare. This is the 1973 Norwood reprint edition. I have only ever seen 2 copies, one is in my collection and this is the other. £80. It is a large book, wider than A4 and will be sent Special Delivery UK - overseas postage will be more.
