Town Planning in Practice: An Introduction to the Art of Designing Cities and Suburbs

  • Pictorial cloth
  • London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1911
By Raymond Unwin
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1911. Pictorial cloth. Very Good +. A handsome, well-preserved copy of the 1911 2nd edition (just on the heels of the 1909 1st edition). Solid and VG to VG+ in its green cloth, with bright gilt-pictorial design and titling along the front panel. Occasional foxing to a small handful of pages, inner hinges tender (but still perfectly sturdy). Thick octavo, top-edge gilt. Hundreds of plans and photographs supplementing Raymond Unwin's text, in addition to the 7 large fold-out maps (as called for) at the rear. The 7th and final map ("First Garden City, Letchworth") has come loose from its binding, all others firm and solid.
