24 Success Articles From American Preservation Magazines

Price: $25.00

Publisher: U.S.A., American Preservation : Unknown date

Seller ID: 3009

Binding: Disbound

Condition: Articles Very Good Condition

I found these disbound articles in a box of Architectual Review Magazines which I bought at auction. I almost tossed them out until I realized how worthy they are. Each of the 24 focuses on a particular area within a state located anywhere in the country. They all derived from American Preservation magazine, so the color photographs are stunning. Each article is pretty long with many images. I wish I had more room to show them. Areas are these: New Orleans Lower Garden District; Providence, Rhode Island; Salem Massachusetts; Eutaw, Alabama's Greek Revival Architecture; Galveston, Texas; Mizner...

Seller ID: 3211

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

Downtown Cleveland is the coolest place to live these days, but in 1983 when this study came out the suburbs ruled. The Architects Society of Ohio and the Cleveland Chapter of the American Institute of Architects challenged Ohio's college students at the University of Cincinnati, Kent State, Miami, and Ohio State to participate in a student design seminar. This booklet is the result. As you can see it's bound with a metal spiral and is clean and nice. Measures 8" x 10-1/2" and has 22 pages. Illustrated with colorful graphics, small photographs and architectual drawings. Not often seen.

Publisher: Charlestown, Massachusetts, Charlestown Preservation Society Inc. : 1968

Seller ID: 1677

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Good-plus

I very much like old urban planning/historical preservation items, so of course had to have this one. It was likely printed for the exclusive use of the Charlestown Preservation Society, so there aren't too many kicking around. The booklet is clean and oversized at 9"x11" and spiral bound to lie flat. The plastic comb is completely intact. It's illustrated throughout with maps and black and white photographs. A very interesting retrospective of the town.

Seller ID: 3940

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Cery good Condition

Wow! What a fun magazine for the arts. I bought it at a small shop which mostly sold popular fiction. I looked around, saw nothing of interest and almost went out the door just as my eye caught this beauty. The only thing that would make it better would be both in English and French text. As it is, it's completely in French and yet you can get the drift of it anyway. Lots of color pages and many types of arts and artists. Topics cover architecture, poetry, history. Jasper Johns, Magritte, Matisse, Dance, Concerts, Pollock, Man Ray, photography, Manet, De Kooning, Post-Modernism, Sculpture, Col...

Publisher: Clinton. Iowa, Curtis Woodwork : 1944

Seller ID: 2788

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Fine Condition

I love when a nice ephemera item is hiding extras on the same subject. I bought the main booklet and -- surprise! -- I got two extra small booklets about kitchens and entrances and a letter from the company. Home builders knew that after the war there would be many people, especially veterans, yearning for a home of their own. The building trade started early to feed the pent-up desire, but by the time this advertising came out the end of the war was only a year away -- 1945. The yellow pamphlets measures 3-1/2" x 6-1/4". The large booklet measures 8-1/2" x 11" and has 15 pages covering windo...

A spectacular design book which is not often seen.
