About This Item
This library is specialized in primarily residential architecture but also includes general architecture, landscape architecture and a very limited number of interior design titles. It generally spans from c. 1900 to the present, with a small number of late 19th century titles. It is believed that only a single title is a low-quality, print-on-demand edition. Many are unavailable for purchase anywhere. I have been assembling this collection for 50 years. Anyone requesting to examine the collection will have to confirm their identity. I am willing to consider selling individually selected titles.
A number of international titles are from numerous countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia, thus the collection is broadly representative of worldwide architecture. Although a number of common titles are included, some are extremely rare, some valued over $1,000, and many are still shrink wrapped, so there is a broad diversity of titles. An Excel listing is available on request, although ISBN numbers have not been added yet to many of the listings. Note that photos only show a small fraction of the collection. Serious buyers are encouraged to personally inspect the collection, in the DC area.
I have been expertly advised that sending 200 or so best titles for auction should pay for the entire collection.
Noteworthy items include:
• A 21st Century Palace: Asia [image #3] all 4 vols., one of multiple $1,000+ items
• arts & architecture [complete set: 1945-1954]
• Architectural Houses 1-11 [first two volumes are softbound]
• American Country Houses of To-Day [1912, 1913, 1915, 1930]
• 28 issues of Architectural Record, Country House Number, early 20th century, various formats
• Architectural Record - Record Houses [1955-2020]
• 11 issues of Academy Architecture [between 1898 – 1911]
• 95 issues of GA Houses (Global Architecture) [#1 on, incomplete]
• 18 issues of Casas Internacional

I will pack for shipment, but buyer will have to arrange truck transport. Shipping cost in listing is N/A and obviously this lot may not be returned.
