Description:
Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1985. Hardcover. Good+/Good+ (Covers have light bowing, scuffing to boards, especially spine; wear to DJ edges and corners; scuffing/soiling/foxing to DJ; DJ is sunned.). Burgundy cloth boards with white spine lettering. White and color-illustrated dust jacket with brown lettering. xxvi, 1078 pp. 6 BW plates. "While few historians would dispute the importance of the printed book in the development of domestic design in 18th and 19th century Britain, this is the first major study to trace the evolution of architectural ideas during the period by examing the literary output of architects. It is a work of extraordinary scholarwhip, based on an extensive search of dozens of major library collections, that will serve as a standard resource for researchers and librarians, book dealers and collectors." -- DJ.
