Description: This antique book titled "The Builder's Guide, or Complete System of Architecture: Illustrated By Sixty-Six Engravings, Which Exhibit The Oeders Of Architecture, AndbOther Elements Of The Art. Designed For athe Use of Builders, Particularly Of Carpenters And Joiners" is a must-have for architecture enthusiasts. With 66 plates, the book offers an in-depth understanding of architecture in the mid-19th century. The leather-bound book was published by Perkins & Marvin in 1850, making it an original copy and a valuable addition to any collection. The author Asher Benjamin was a prominent figure in the field of architecture and the book covers a wide range of topics including history, design, and construction. This is a rare find for collectors and architecture and CAD students alike. Condition is an issue. The cover is in rough shape. Front cover is detached with clear tape fix. Leather covers have become brittle over time. Spine same. Inside is better! Would rate the insides much higher at good. Front and back pages do show wear. Or course a few water stains Please note there are a couple of drawings in pencil in some of the pages. I think they add charm but you may not. The drawings are outstanding! So much information covered, this really is a must have! Boston: Benjamin B Mussey & Co. 1850
