Boots Comrades in Khaki. Boots, 1915. 8vo, half leather; numerous photographs.
A record of the service of the employees of the Boots' chain during World War I. This book contains the complete run of the rare magazine bound as one. It was only produced for one year because of increasing wartime deprivations of paper and labour. Whilst it existed though, it was an effort from the company to offer a shared sense of comaraderie with the others who had joined up from its workforce.
Sold for £100
Estimated at £100 - £200
Binding scuffed, with loss to head of spine, internally clean.
