Softcover, bound in yapp-edged black wraps titled in black and light green with gilt and green art deco decorations on the front cover and a gilt vignette of an iron fence on the rear cover. The edges of the covers are slightly creased and the top edge is faded.

The last 2 pages includes a partial list of owners of Cincinnati Iron Fences. Very good.
The text also includes instructions for taking measurements as well as some information on dimensions and prices.
The illustrations include many photographs of homes and property enclosed by ironwork fences, as well as commercial properties which sometimes make use of attractive fencing and at other times simple chain link fencing. One example depicts simple but attractive iron fencing used as bridge railing for Cincinnati's Mt. Auburn's Walker and Ringold Street Bridge.
