Eleven 1940 monthly issues of this classic old magazine.....missing only November. Some staining around the old steel staples, writing to front page of the January 1940 issue only. .... a little creasing of a few page corners...in general very clean and tidy...no age spotting. Each issue is 9 x 5 3/4" in size around 22-28 pages. Dalesman is a British monthly regional magazine, based in Skipton, and serving the English county of Yorkshire. Its first edition was published in March 1939, under the original title of The Yorkshire Dalesman: A Monthly Magazine of Dales' Life and Industry. Although originally only serving the Yorkshire Dales, the magazine was soon expanded to cover the whole county of Yorkshire, with a particular focus on the countryside and over the years it has become a northern institution. It remains the biggest selling regional consumer magazine in the UK and Yorkshire's best selling magazine.
