Tony Oldham, Anne Oldham (1972): Discovering Caves,
A small booklet about the show caves of Britain, unfortunately it is sold out. But maybe you are happy to find a used one.
But the easiest way to get it is showcaves.com: Tony was so generous and allowed us to use his descriptions in full length, so we added them on the related pages. He also wrote updates and numerous descriptions for other caves all over the world.
