The British Scrapbook — The Complete Collection (All Three Volumes)

Three books, one purpose: to enjoy the old Britain, to remember it, and to keep the part of it that is yours alone.

The Complete British Scrapbook brings all three volumes together in a single collection:

Volume One — The Old-Fashioned Kitchen. Feeding yourself the old way: growing, cooking and wasting nothing — the everyday competence our grandparents took for granted.

Volume Two — The Britain We Lost. A walk back through the vanished high streets, front rooms and shared places of ordinary British life — what went, and why it's worth remembering.

Volume Three — Uncover Your Own Lost Britain. Available only in the complete collection. The most personal of the three: a plain-English guide to tracing your own family and the place it came from — birth and marriage certificates, the census, parish registers, military records, old maps, and the landscape itself. It comes with The Record of My Britain, a set of pages to fill in by hand and hand on, so that what you find is kept for good.

Volume Three is not sold on its own. The only way to read it — and to own the whole library — is here.
