The pride of Perth is Arthur Bell and Co, in case you were wondering (I was). It is a book written on behalf of the company, so if you are no fan of Bells, this wont rock your boat.
Luckily, the book was written in an age where shameless advertising for a company was something rarely seen. Either that, or they wanted people to read it with a bit of interest. However the author seems to very impressed with the all directors of the company through the times.
From the writings on the early beginnings, the book is very interesting. It seems very accurate on the historical facts. The last half of the book is ok, but just not as interesting as the first half.
Reading value 6 (just don't get caught too much in the addvertising)
Historical value 7
6+
If it's not to dear, buy it, or better still, borrow it
