Description
It is the author’s belief that the only way to learn anything about building (or thatching, etc.) is to use your eyes and to try yourself; and he has manifestly done both. As a result, his book is full of fresh ideas and stimulating suggestions. It includes an informative study of the possibilities of alternative building materials – stone, cob, chalk and particularly pisé (rammed earth). An interesting, suggestive, provocative book. Bound in red cloth with gold titling to spine. Very good if slightly foxed, unclipped dust jacket. Endpapers are foxed, and some pages are tanned. Hardcover. Published by Faber and Faber 1948. Weight 275g
