Hardcover. Condition: Good-Very Good. Assume 1st ed. Red black-lettered cloth covers, black cloth spine, covers clean but outward bowing and corner rubbing, unlettered spine has thin splits along much of joints, wraparound protective acetate sleeve as acquired. paginated to p.64 + approx same unpaginated with 8 pp. adverts to end, the majority of the work is taken up with full page architectural drawings, plans and photo-plates, many un-numbered, but l18 full page photos before end advert (i.e. 36 pp.); internally very good being clean and unmarked, slight open creasing to upper outer corners throughout is only flaw.
