About This Item
From front flap: "The Craftsman in America examines the national heritage of handcrafts - developed to meet basic needs of survival, conditioned by the frontier, and continued to the present." This book includes history and examples.
Book - Good- condition. At some point the bottom was exposed to water, so there is some bubbling of the pages near the spine, but it is still a good readable/usable copy. No stuck pages, no mildew, no odd smells. Please see photos.
Dust Jacket - Fair condition. The dust jacket had also been exposed to water and has stains inside and color bleed from the book on the back. The bottom edge has little wear, but the top edge has chips and tears. Please see photos.
199 pages.
