About This Item
E.P. Dutton & Company, 1939. Book. Good. Cloth. First Edition. A presentable copy of an uncommon classic of photography, and record of New York architectural history. Pages are clean and glossy with sharp, well-defined images. The book is free of foxing. Covers are a rich, even blue with clean surfaces, with the exception of a faint spot at lower corner. Bottom and top edges with moderate to strong rubbing. Chief detractors are strongly bumped corners causing pleats to the upper front tip and a fold in the binding fabric at both front panel corners. Rear cover has a couple of small pen-tip sized impressions. Fading as per usual to the endpaper borders. Lower corner with small pleats to far tips for most of book, and a softer fold a little further up. Jacket has all panels intact, but has suffered the loss of several inches of the front lower corner, and small chips at the top edge. Rubbing to edges, but despite the general wear, the color and background brick design remain nicely bright and crisp. Please inquire for more scans or information..
