About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934. Cloth. Very Good +/Very Good +. A handsome example of the 2 volume set, the 1931 AND 1934 1st editions together. Both volumes solid and VG to VG+ in their duotone cloth (dark and light-green), with bright gilt-titling to the front panels and spines. Very light spotting and staining to Vol. I's front panel, very light foxing to its preliminaries. Vol. II sharp and very presentable, in a clean, bright example of the uncommon dustjacket. The dustjacket is solid and VG+, with light offsetting to the panels and just a touch of very mild chipping along the edges. Also included with Vol. II is the fragile printed slipcase, which shows wear along the edges and staining to the pasted-on paper title but is nonetheless attractive and serviceable Folios, hundreds of crisp black-and-white photos throughout. Compiled ane edited for the Garden Club of America by Alice G.B. Lockwood. This copy signed by and from the personal library of Sean Sculley (1939-2021), renowned architect and landscape designer and long-term professor at New York's Cooper Union.
