The Builder, Series 606b matt

The Builder 1965 was the 6th book to be issued in series 606b and was the last one originally to have been issued with a dustwrapper.  It was written by I & J Havenhand and, like all the books in this series, was beautifully, lovingly illustrated by John Berry.   This book traces the process of building domestic and commercial premises from the concept stage to completion.  It was written at a time when we thought every building would very shortly be prefabricated.

This matt copy is in very good condition  inside and out – some wear and fading to the spine/edges but nice clean pages. There’s a neat surname to the front endpapers.  It dates to the 1960s and has the original price of 2/6 printed inside.
