Constructive and Decorative Stitchery (being Number 2 in the New Needlecraft Series)

1927. Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons Ltd. An Uncommon book. A Hardback in Good condition. Publisher's original grey boards with lettering design in black. Illustrated throughout mainly with black and white photographs and some drawings, and two colour plates one of which to frontispiece. General age-related wear, softening and bumping to boards and spine, unsurprising perhaps in view of the book's age. Name of previous owner written neatly in ink, and a few doodles to the rear pastedown. Splitting to rear gutter, but the pages are not detached. Subtle and historic repairs with white tape at rear and also to title page. Some creasing to title page. The half title page is present but the ffep appears to be missing; also publisher's catalogue at rear from which a page/s appear to be missing. Fold out page at rear is present however. Notwithstanding this, the page block is still tight. The pages are basically clean and unmarked. Some very very mild toning. Taking the book's age into account, the pages are surprisingly clean and the book is beautifully illustrated, and overall in Good condition.…
