How time flies ! If you read the initial post you will find I wasn't yet a pensioner. Well, I am now, and have been for some time !
Anyway, I recently came into possession of some old papers and books that had been my grandfathers. Amongst them were some copies of Joe's book, including (holy grail this) a copy in very good condition of the first edition, which I shall now always treasure. It is entitled simply 'Rambles Round Pendle'.
Over the years I have collected a number of copies of the later editions. The second says 'ENLARGED EDITION', green cover. The third says 'RESET AND FURTHER ENLARGED EDITION', red cover. The fourth, after WW2, says the same as the third, light blue cover.
You will see them on ebay or Abebooks, sometimes at rather high prices I think. If anyone would like one, send me a private message, saying which edition (2nd, 3rd or 4th), and I'll look through my collection, and let you know what I can offer, with price according to condition, to include p+p.
