Seller's Description:
Fine. 0964304848. This copy was still sealed in the original plastic wrap and includes the rarely found large color map of the tile floor. "This map is the result of a survey of the Moravian tile floor conducted by the Capitol Preservation Committee for the tile restoration. The mapping was made possible through the use of CAD software, and is the first comprehensive mapping of the floor since the tiles were originally laid." We removed the wrap to inspect for flaws and there a few very tiny corner-creases caused by the tightness of the wrap but it is basically a like-new copy with a flawless map. "Unavailable for many years, this reprinted guidebook is a useful tool in understanding the history of Pennsylvania, as well as a record of this very important Arts and Crafts masterpiece"; 100 pages.
