Nice copy. Presents well, very little wear. Nice DJ now in protective sleeve (see pictures). UK only, this is a very heavy book. All our books at the moment are reduced so the price you see reflects a 33% discount. You may be interested in The Literaticus Book Service. We specialise in tracking down those harder to find editions, among other bookish services such as gift fulfilment. Get in touch to send us your Book Wants or ask a bookish question. If this is intended as a gift, please email first and I can gift wrap for no extra charge. If you would like special delivery but don't see an option for it, just email first and I'll obtain a quote. If you have any questions, require more information or if you would like more pictures, do not hesitate to get in touch. This is heavy (over 2kg) so probably best if it stays in the UK. Courier would probably be cheapest and cost around £6. I can send an invoice for the adjustment after purchase and after I know how you would like them to be shipped.…

The Complete Works of Robert and James Adam is reprinted here in its entirety, updated and corrected. This title covers every one of the 230 or so built works, including 12 that have been recently discovered. It is complemented by a completely new title, Unbuilt Adam. This mentions all the brothers' important unbuilt projects, and it discusses and illustrates 130 of them.
This volume gives an exceptionally thorough review of the brothers' designs. From public buildings to country houses, and monuments to ceilings, it is well informed and erudite. It provides a mine of information for both the expert and the general reader, and it uses the works covered to give an understanding of the Adam manner.
* The definitive collection, one complete source of Adam 260 executed and 230 unexecuted works
* Detailed descriptions with photographs, drawings, plans, elevations and sectional drawings
* Covers works ranging from public buildings and country houses to estate buildings, monuments to ceilings to aid understanding of the Adam style and design ideas
