Hardcover. Grey boards with white title card on the spine, and black lettering; turquoise DJ with color illustration and beige lettering; xx, 174 pp.; richly illustrated. This book attempts to explain how the great eighteenth-century architect Robert Adam went about the business of design. It therefore deals with Adam's drawings rather than the buildings themselves, and tries to show that these pen, wash and watercolour 'inventions', of which he was an acknowledged master, were the ideal vehicle for his architectural ideas first and last. -- DJ. Good+ (Boards are lightly edgeworn; some pages are crumpled a bit at the front; interior is clean; binding is solid.) Good+ (DJ is lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged.).
