The Art of Building a Home.

Longmans, Green & Co, 1901.

Second edition. 8vo. Green boards with gilt titles. Gilt topedge. A very good+ copy with light edgewear to extremities. A few tiny marks & mild toning to spine. No chipping or splitting to cloth. Internally complete and clean. Some very light spotting to endpapers & prelims. Endpapers original & unsplit. No inscriptions. A very good+ tight copy without the usual fading to gilt titles on spine.

Foundational text of 20th century urban design. It is highly significant because it translated the high minded, artistic philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement into a practical democratic blueprint for social housing and town planning. The book served as the intellectual and visual manifesto that directly led to the world's first Garden Cities.
