FARM BUILDINGS VOLUME ONE: TECHNIQUES - DESIGN - PROFIT

by John B. Weller

Published by Crosby Lockwood And Son Ltd. 1st. 1965

Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. "Every farm building forms part of an investment. Any part of a building which does not contribute a profit from the enterprise concerned hinders the success of the farm." This is the basis of the author's approach to his subject, as it must be, logically, that of the farmer, the architect, builder and agricultural adviser. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. xv and 269 pages including index plus advertisement to rear.

White marks to boards. Rust spots to front endpapers. Previous bookseller's address label to front endpaper. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is edge-worn and torn, faded to spine and grubby to rear panel.
