Thomson, Derick S: The Companion to Gaelic Scotland. , Oxford: Basil Blackwell Publisher Limited, 1983.

First edition. xx + 363pp. 26.5 x 20 cm. "The Companion covers every aspect of Gaelic life and culture from art, literature, language, music and architecture to politics, agriculture, the economy and archaeology. The accounts of figures from past and present amount to a dictionary of Scottish Gaelic biography - again the first to be published. Professor Thomson has commissioned the articles from more than sixty experts. The articles are arranged alphabetically, referenced to a comprehensive bibliography, and often illustrated. There is a full index, guide to articles by subject, and a chronology. Gold-blocked green boards, in protected dw. The ex-library evidence seems to be restricted to a small square on the illustrated ffep, the Dewey Decimal Number on the dw, and a very discreet stamp on the title. This is the first edition, hardback. (Book ref. 12852)  £45.00
