About This Item
London: Constable & Co Ltd, 1974. Second edition, heavily revised and enlarged. Original Cloth. Very good/very good. Royal 8vo (26 x 19cm). Brown cloth, gilt titles to spine. In unclipped jacket, housed in a previous owner's transparent sleeve, over paper backing. xviv, 419. A cornucopia of British architectural oddities, researched, and in many cases photographed or drawn by Jones, and a classic of its kind. Previous owner's name to flyleaf. Jacket spine somewhat faded. The dust jacket cover has been discreetly taped to the sides of the boards. The jacket, as far as I can tell, can be removed from its sleeve, and the old tape could be lifted with an appropriate solvent. Still a very nice copy, binding tight, pages clean and bright.
