Book Profile

• Significance: The book is a definitive, witty, and deeply detailed account of British daily life, politics, and culture during the interwar years—the period the authors famously dubbed “the long week-end”. 
• Physical Presence: The dimensions (6″ x 8.8″ x 1.2″) represent a standard British octavo size, typical for Faber & Faber hardbacks of this era.
• Estimated Value: In Good condition (which usually implies minor shelf wear, a clean interior, and either a worn or missing dust jacket), copies of this specific 1961 edition generally trade between £15 and £25.
