Not a Plack the Richer by Marian Pallister
In this book, Marian Pallister tells the story of Argylls mining past. Her research into official records, letters and other documentary material is set beside the personal experience of those involved at all levels in the industry itself and the local communities whose lives it changed forever.'Those interested either in the history of mining or the social and economic development of Argyll should read this bookIndeed I would go further and say that it merits an even wider readership. It is a good example of not only how to research a local study but also how to present it to a wider readership'
