Slight wear at base of spine; mild rubbing at bottom board edge; slight thumbsoil to endpapers, else internally clean, tight and unmarked; Very Good to Near Fine overall, lacking the scarce dustwrapper. Neat ownership signature in pencil to front pastedown ("R. De Joannis").

With what strikes us as a remarkably self-regarding introductory essay by the principal architect on the project, Arthur Ingersoll Meigs.
