Santa Fe: Ancient City Press. Near Fine. 1961. First Edition. Spiral bound. William Lumpkins (1909 - 2000) a native of New Mexico, of this unusual book was an early proponent of adobe buildings as well as an artist. He provides an introduction to adobe building in the front, and provides floor plans and drawings for several adobe structures he designed. This book is unpaged, but contains 40 thick leaves (by my count), printed on one side. This is a nice clean, tight and unmarked book with no interior or exterior markings and no creases,chips or tears to the covers or to the pages; the spiral comb binding is also in good condition. This is a large format book 14.5" x 11.5"; Priority and International shipping will require extra charges. ; B&W Illustrations & Drawings; Folio 13" - 23" tall; 40 pages .
