This collection comprises numerous vintage books and manuals housed within an aged, hard-sided suitcase. The suitcase features a patterned fabric interior, which exhibits visible wear and damage to its lining. An interior label in the suitcase lid indicates ‘Howard T. Hamilton, St. Johns, Isle of Wight, England.’

The contents include multiple copies of “How to program the ZX81” manuals, identifiable by their red and yellow covers, some branded ICL, “Auto-Courses,” or “Training Manual.” Also present are several dark red hardcover volumes titled “20th Century Business Practice,” some published by The Pitman Publishing Company Limited.

Further specialized interest books include “Aircraft an illustrated history,” “Luftwaffe OVER THE NORTH,” “Make Your Own Sails,” “Barnett Book of Photography 20th Century Edition,” and “Norfolk Broads 1994.” A small red cassette player/recorder is also visible among the ZX81 materials.
