The Steel Square and Its Uses Two Parts in One Volume

Cloth-covered boards. "A complete up-to-date encyclopedia on the practical uses of the steel square, showing how it can be used by the carpenter in his daily work, together with a detailed discussion of the various devices now on the market which aim to simplify the work which can be done with this wonderful tool." "Geographical Publishing Company" is listed as publisher on the title page, but the book's spine has "Shrewsbury Publishing Co." There are a number of cheap recent reprints of this title, most of which have only either Part I or Part II, but not both. This book contains both parts. This book, though not the original edition, is bound in real cloth. Pencil mark on front endpaper, else no marks. The binding and hinges are good. The cloth, as well as the silver-gilt titles and decorations, are worn. There is smudging and soil to the cloth, as well as some scratches and dings, and the corners are bent, but it's still pretty cool-looking. The text is printed on acid paper but the pages, though toned, do not appear fragile.…
