Understanding English place-names - Addison, William Wilkinson Sir

Understanding English Place-Names by William Addison, published by Batsford in 1978. A hardback study of the origins and meanings of English place-names, with chapters covering different regions of the country, illustrated here with a cover photograph of a castle ruin on a hillside.

The blue cloth-bound hardback is in its original illustrated dust jacket. The jacket shows noticeable wear, including rubbing to the edges and corners, a crease near the spine on the front, and some creasing and a scuff mark on the lower part of the back panel. The spine lettering remains clear and legible.

The copyright page confirms first publication in 1978, printed by J. W. Arrowsmith Ltd for B. T. Batsford Ltd, with the ISBN printed without hyphens as 0 7134 0295 4. The text pages are cream in colour with clear black print, shown here on a sample opening from the South West England chapter.
