'Somerset and District Friendly Society Pole Heads' provides an insight into the world of voluntary mutual self-help clubs - friendly societies - in the days before National Insurance and the Welfare State. Their heyday was the nineteenth century and they existed to provide sickness benefits and burial payments. For a few pence a week they could save working families from destitution.
Described by one reviewer as the Rolls-Royce of local books, Halsgrove's pedigree at the heart of regional publishing is defined by the publication of titles of national quality in the regional market. For over two decades we have built upon this reputation, taking the experience acquired through our Westcountry origins to become the major player in the regional hardback market, publishing books aimed at local-interest readers throughout the UK and increasingly in other European countries. Several hundred titles are now published each year.
