St Marys Books

A niche and fascinating first edition read that details the nature, origin, and quirks of lettering as applied to all buildings, from the renowned Architectural Press. Features a section of in-depth but accessible text on the subject, followed by 270 captioned photographs and illustrations as examples. Original dust jacket in lovely condition with just a little curling to edges and slight fading. Not price clipped. Underneath lie vibrant blue cloth boards with gilt to spine. Spine in very good condition with no bumping and just a very tiny patch of rubbing to the tail. Internally pristine with no signs of foxing or damage. Overall, a fantastic rare book not limited to those of an architectural background; an interesting look at both the history and the development of visuals. 191pp inc. index.
