About This Item
From the Author's Preface: "In the past, books about historic preservation written for general readers tended to be one of two types. Either they were coffee-table volumes, lavishly illustrated...or they were tales of lament full of speckled documentary photos or stark mugshots of venerable old buildings..."
"The structures and sites pictured in this book have been hidden not only by misconceptions of what is beautiful or valuable but also by the very fact that they are not set apart but are to be found everywhere..."
Good+ condition. Gray paper over boards. The front cover has an impressed design of a building that has a gilt finish to it. The spine has a slightly faded silver gilt title. Both covers want to go outward a little. Slight edge wear, but much corner wear. Text is clean. Binding is tight. Lots of black & white photos.
Please use seller photos as part of the description.
311 pages including Index. This is a heavy book and will require additional postage.
