Excerpt: ...is the large and spacious dining-room, which is in reality three rooms opened into one, the partitions showing in the beamed ceilings.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover, no dustjacket, illustrated front cover, same date on title page and copyright page indicates a first printing, "There is a certain fascination connected with the remodeling of a farmhouse. Its low, rafted interior, its weather-beaten exterior, never fail to appeal. Types vary in which the period they were built, but all are of interest. In this collection, which has been pictured with great care, pains have been taken to show as many different types as possible, so that the student will be able to find numerous interesting details that can be incorporated into his contemplated remodeling, " the following minor flaws are present: the spine has a mild indent but the binding remains tight, a few small brown blemishes are present on the front cover and a faint damp-mark is present on the bottom half of the spine, this damp-mark continues through page 2 but please note that no damage has been done other than slight darkening to the area, the text and photos are in nice shape, quite a presentable copy; 264 pages.
