Thanks to Reg Harris and Ian Sage for telling us about their own prized books. Like Reg, I frequently refer to John Latimer's 'Annals of Bristol', but I didn't know about the other book he mentioned 'The Diary of William Dyer: Bristol in 1762', edited by Jonathan Barry, so that's one to look out for. The book Ian has mentioned looks intriguing. 'Five Years of Colliery Life or the Adventures of a Collier Boy in a Somersetshire Coal Mine' by Jonathan Presto (1884) appears to be quite rare so no wonder Ian mentions it as a prized book.
