Having bought mine for £7.99 this is a customers viewpoint.
It is a very good read. I like the style. It is also very interesting. Quite a bit about Silsden I did not know, especially the chair factory in the reservoir. Worth buying.
Only criticism is to next time lay off the Ctr-B keys.

i agree, its a really good read and has allowed me to take the kids out and tell them a bit about the history of the town they were born in. found out some things I didnt know about silsden which was very interesting. The walks are worth recommending to anybody.

There's a new book called 'Discovering Silsden'. I bought mine from the Post Office. It's about local walks in the area and tells you a bit about the history of Silsden. As a newcomber to the area I have found it most interesting. There are some lovely walks which my and husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed - looking forward to picnicing in the summer!

I also got this book the other day, and I have to say it is good. 'Discovering Silsden' is the right word, because I have found some places I didn't know existed in Silsden! added to that filled in some info I was missed about the history too.
