A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Thatch: A Complete Guide to the Ancient Art of Thatching by Robert West appeared in 1988 as the first American edition, jointly issued by David & Charles in Newton Abbot and Main Street Press in Pittstown, New Jersey. The book addresses the practical questions faced by owners of thatched roofs, including assessment of condition, ongoing maintenance, and the execution of repairs. Architects and builders working with vernacular and traditional structures are among those the text is written to inform, as thatch has drawn renewed interest as a roofing material. The volume treats thatching as a living craft with a long history rather than a purely historical subject, covering the working knowledge needed to keep a thatched roof sound.
