First edition. Hardcover issue. Publisher's original glassine cover red rexine boards, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with eight colour plates (seven of which are tipped onto card, as issued), and profusely in black and white throughout. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the glassine adhered to the boards over time. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the front endpaper are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has several small chips and some toning to the spine. Adhered to the boards at places along the upper and lower edge. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the lower front flap).
Scarce in hardcover, a fascinating reference of art deco graphic arts and design.
