fourth edition, 14 plates (diagrams), each accompanied by explanatory text on the opposite page, brown cloth boards. Reasonably good, but the contents are a bit grubby and creased. A previous owner's inscription and a bookseller's stamp appear on the title page and front endpaper respectively. The diagram (not text) for plate 10 appears twice - presumably a binder's or printer's error. Covers probably not original but nevertheless contemporary with the book's publication. In fair condition but quite worn and a stained. A previous owner's inscription appears on the title label on the front cover. A system for constructing hand rails with associated diagrams. A scarce title.

Store description
A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock. …
