A small booklet titled Welsh Place-names and Their Meanings; undated, but appears to be an earlier edition of a 2011 printing with updated covers available from the Internet Archive. The author is Dewi Davies.

The title, top and tailing a rather nice dragon, is in one of the Bookman Swash typefaces; the Letraset version looks quite close. The booklet is undated. I have put circa 1975 for the date, but this is really the vaguest idea, based on the general look and feel and when Bookman and Letraset were popular.

Printed by Cambrian Printers, Aberystwyth.
