Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

London: Cassell & Company Ltd., 1954. Very Good condition but for browning to the endpapers and small chip (1/8th inch) at the head of the spine. Otherwise a bright, clean, square, tight copy. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are creamy white and unmarked. Hardcover. John Gloag (1896-1981), best known as a writer and critic on architecture, also wrote more than twenty works of fiction. SACRED EDIFICE is a novel about an ancient Cathedral destroyed during a Zeppelin bombing raid. A wealthy American motor-car manufacturer steps in to help with the rebuilding. The new Foreword to this edition is by the architect, Basil Spence, O. B. E. At the time he wrote, Spence was working to replace Coventry Cathedral which in reality had been destroyed by WWII bombing. Spence remarks about how astonishingly Gloag's novel, written 20 years before, predicts the real life reactions of the public, of the technical Press, and of the clergy. "What is even more intriguing is the description of the processes of thought in the architect's mind. I am certain architects, and creative artists generally, will find this a most absorbing book." -- John Spence. Bound in the original black boards, stamped in shiny silver on the spine. 1954 reprint of the 1937 original. Hardcover. Very Good condition/No jacket. 287pp.…

Shopbeschreibung

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
