Synopsis
A ground-breaking work when first published in 1931, this classic book is now released in soft cover. A visionary, Eleanor Raymond, A.I.A. explored what she called the, "unstudied directness in fitting form to function." The book was one of the first systematic inventories of vernacular American architecture and defined Raymond's long and successful career. Beautiful photography guides the eye through examples of authentic colonial architecture in Pennsylvania. Heavy beams, primitive stonework, and detailed paneling are shown, along with doorways, windows, staircases, and rooflines. The author selected works that show traces of the mediaeval spirit as well as early Georgian character found in the oldest settlements in Pennsylvania. Raymond's work records interior and exterior views not only of the smaller houses, but also of barns, mills, spring houses and other outbuildings. It has been praised for being the first to consider the beauty and architectural value of smaller and more primitive structures typical of Eastern Pennsylvania, and integral to the area's appeal. As a bonus for those hoping to restore such treasures, Raymond included 25 pages of measured drawings detailing cabinetry work and molding profiles.

    The FOLIO Society Edition of Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" complete with slipcase arrived in perfect condition, just as described. I have never read this classic before, but I do love the movie that was made in the early 1980s and look forward to comparing them. The seller offered this collectible at a good price, beating other sellers. The book was packaged safely and arrived quickly. This is a trustworthy seller, so have no fear and bring your business here.šŸ˜€ Thank you.

    Listed as used in very good condition. Except for previous owner's name printed on fly page, appearance is indistinguishable from brand new and unread, so-better than expected. Book was carefully packed and very promptly shipped. It arrived undamaged. Prices for this high-quality book are all over the map, so this was a great value. Great seller. Would unhesitatingly do business with again.
