Ideal Christmas presents.
The Essex Society for Archaeology and History has "inherited" several new copies of 'Essex full of profitable thinges' published in 1996. These were "Essays presented to Sir John Ruggles-Brise as a tribute to his life of service to the people and County of Essex". It was edited by Kenneth Neale.
The books will be available - when collected from the storeroom - price £6 including postage and packing to a UK address, but only £2 on sale at the Society's forthcoming 'History and Archaeological Symposium' on Saturday 4 November 2017, and the Annual General Meeting of its Essex Industrial Archaeology Group on Saturday 11 November 2017.
