About this Item

KNOW YOUR WOODS BY A. CONSTANTINE JR. SIGNED 1959 1ST EDITION HC DJ. I am pleased to offer: Know Your Woods Their Identification, Properties and Uses by Albert Constantine Jr. This small hard cover book (5 ¾ x 8 ¾ inches, 384 pages) was published by the Home Craftsman Publishers of New York dated 1959 and the First Edition. It is flat-signed by the Author on the front endpaper. This book is bound in maroon boards with gilt titles on the spine and protected by a printed paper dust jacket. The book is well illustrated throughout including a fold-out composite mosaic of 60 woods one should know in color. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket shows a good deal of edge wear to the top edge with small chips and tears. The hard covers have some smudges to the finish but are generally clean and unbumped. Inside, there is a former owner s inked name on the front endpaper just below the Author s signature but these are the only marks I found. The interior pages and plates are clean and bright without toning or foxing except at the endpapers where the acids of the binding glues have had an effect. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
