Achievements of New England Architects and Engineers (Volume 1)

Boston, Southgate Press, 1927. Hardbound. Red textured cloth with beveled edges. 342 pp. profusely illustrated in bw. Normally, I would discard a book with the pages stuck together like this one had. However, it is of such scarcity that I think someone will be glad to have a copy, regardless of this fault, as no other copies are available. Includes 56 pages of ads at the rear. Covers are VG. Moisture got in and all the page bottoms stuck together, so I have opened each page up as delicately as possible.
