Item description from seller

Original publisher's brown wrappers backed with black cloth. Red and blue decorative stripes on front cover. Bound by the Angwin Book Bindery in Angwin, California. 6 3/4" x 9 5/8." Pages 329-366, complete. Plates in black and white and color, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact. Binding is tight. A few numbers are written in black pen in the upper-left corner of the front cover not affecting text. Small bump on title label. A Fine copy. This article is about Italian castles. Excerpt from the first page: "'Castles in Spain!' The old, romantic phrase had occurred in my chat with a Roman archeologist. He smiled and commented, 'Why is it always 'in Spain?' Why not 'in Italy?' And he went on to speak of the many little-known castles that dot Italy's northern provinces. As a result, we started out from Rome one day to realize our castles in upper Italy. Yet castle-realizing is somewhat of an art. You must recapture the glow of dead centuries before those ghostly ramparts that haunt lakeside or hilltop become comprehensible and the tapestrylike vision of their heyday unrolls before you.".
