Hardcover. 7.25" wide by 9.5" tall. Illustrated with hundreds of photographs, diagrams, and drawings, a few in color. Bound in the original black cloth, lettered in silver on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "TOWNSCAPE is the art which can transform a group of three or four buildings from meaningless muddle into meaningful composition; or a complete town from a diagram into a three-dimensional living environment, satisfying to those who live in it, work in it, or simply look at it. This book is a lively revelation in word and picture of the principles which underlie all successful town planning, and of the widely varied range of effects which the planner can evoke by careful manipulation of component parts." . First American Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. 315pp.

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
