	Slate From Coniston Alastair Cameron £13.99 Second impression. A history of the Coniston slate industry, although the author makes no apologies for the fact that he occasionally strays from the topic of 'slate' to one of the village in general. The history of the industry is inseparable from the history of the village. The culture and personality of the village is as unique as the volcanic slate extracted from its hills.
