About This Item
RIDDELL, Robert. THE CARPENTER AND JOINER, STAIR BUILDER AND HAND-RAILER. Edinburgh: Thomas C. Jack, (circa 1874). Folio. Publisher's half morocco. Lithographic title and tinted frontispiece, (ii), 124, (2) pages, 57 plates. First Scottish edition. This is one of a few American building books to be reprinted in the British Isles. It was first printed in America under the title, The Practical Carpen and Joiner [Hitchcock, 1007]. It is a Model Book, with plates 54 through 57 duplicate and mounted on cardboard so that the figures could be cut and folde into three dimensional models. The tinted frontispiece shows nine views of carpenters at work. Properly using the book destroyed it, so complete copies are most uncommon. Very good. (39337).
