This little gem is a slim volume, rare this version, by a world-famous architectural and conservationist author, whose original English text was translated by Dr S C Hattingh. The work bears the quality production stamp of many of Balkema\'s publications.
While the author thanks his collaborators, the publisher gives no details of designer, printer or binder (which, for such an attractive little book, seems a pity).
The elegant drawings and the photographs are all by the author.
The blue cloth-board covers, gilt to the front, are in at least fine condition. The free endpapers are lightly sunned. A few lines of good wishes are neatly penned on the front free leaf. A smooth wove paper is used for the first 28 pp - text, drawings and bibliograpy - while 16 monochrome photographs are reproduced in the following 8 pp art paper section. Everything is clean, white and undamaged. A nice touch for such a slim volume is that the upper page edges are tinted a matching blue.
