hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. FOWLER, John and CORNFORTH, John [288] pp. The Pyne Press 1974 12" x 8 1/2" This book is the result of a collaboration between an historically-minded decorator and an architectural historian, both vitally concerned with the preservation of English country houses. Its approach is fundamentally one of the social history; explaining how new forms of decoration were introduced and came to be used in the context of life in a great house. This is examined in the light of contemporary documents and with reference to interesting interiors still surviving. The aim of the book is to create a sense of that harmony and balance that was so crucial to the 18th Century and is the essence of all great decorations. The many illustrations, mostly taken specially, include both general views and details, and reproductions of original 18th century drawings.
