Published in 1940 this book is in good condition for its age.  The only issue with the cover is that it has sunned otherwise it is clean and intact.  Inside there is minor foxing on the first and last couple of pages otherwise the pages are clean and intact. All countrymen are not farmers or land workers.  They have many other skilled occupations of which the average townspeople know little or nothing, such as thatching; weaving, making saddlery, work in the smithies, in the woods and quarries, and in the brickfields and potteries.  This book describes some of these age-old country jobs and tries to explain the skill put into them.  Includes 48 illustrations in half-tone and 160 in line.
