About this copy
This is the first edition, first published 1995 by James & James (Publishers) Limited, London. A corporate history of BP (British Petroleum), tracing the company from its origins in Persia in 1901 through to the mid-1990s, illustrated throughout with photographs drawn largely from BP's own archives. Issued in softcover (paperback) format; this copy has no dust jacket as none was issued with this binding.
Condition
- Book
- Good – a used paperback copy with light surface scuffing and scratching visible across the front cover artwork, and mild wear to the corners and edges. The text block and interior pages appear clean and sound.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
