Hardcover. Condition: Good. 131 pages, plus six pages of ads for varnish suppliers. The Coach Painter's Hand-Book offers no publishing date, which I have taken from Internet Archive. The boards are badly stained; the front end paper is missing, exposing the front hinge, though the binding remains very good.There is intermittent dust staining throughout the book, though obvious, it is not horrific and finally the back end paper and paste down suffer from very mild water staining at the edges. Aesthetically the book is not pretty, but it is still very serviceable.
