About This Item
Houghton Mifflin, 1985. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Fine hardcover first edition, first printing in clean unclipped dust jacket. Clean ivory boards with gold author initials on cover, ivory cloth spine with gold lettering. No bumping or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound - all pages are clean and bright; a little dust speckling on upper text block edges. Clean endpaper illustrated with house plans - no names, writing or marks. 341 pages. Clean dust jacket is unchipped, no tears, not price clipped; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. In this luminous book, Tracy Kidder watches the construction of a new house from gleam-in-the-eye to moving in day. In intimate detail we seethe ambitious owners, the architect who gives form to their dreams, and the carpenters who pound the nails. Kidder delves deep into the lives of them all, artfully weaving their stories into his portrait of the project that brings them all together..
