View Larger Image   Audels Carpenters & Builders Guide Set 1923 First Ed.   Description: This is a clean set of Audels with a complete set of 4 volumes printed and copyright in 1923, the first edition, first printing. One of my favorite reference book sets for information on building and carpentry techniques from the 1920's. The 1st volume is very good for information on tools of that days and how to care for them. Each book is 5" x 6.7" has a black leather like pressed cloth semi soft boards, gold gilt spine lettering; pages are tipped in gold gilt on all three sides. All are in good+ to good++ condition, covers are clean, spines are tight and straight. As you can see in the pictures there is some edge wear, minor rubs on the edges and corners of the covers and spines, but minimal, we also note that each volume has a minor crease line running down the near center of the spine, this is from holding each volume fully opened, and has to do with the way the spine was glued to the binding originally, very common on this first edition, later improved by Audels. Pages on all are clean, no tears, scribbling, or stains. Good tight bindings. Very good gold pages edges, Volume 3 has some very minor staining from humidity on about 10 pages near the edge of the page, not in the text at all. The inside blank page and cover page seem a bit more darkened than the rest of the page that are nice and white. Overall is good+ to good++ condition, clean, not musty. A nice set of books covering tools, steel square, cutting tools, saw sharpening, nails, screws, joinery, furniture, math, drawings, estimating, house and roof framing, layout, foundations, doors, windows, stair building, mill-work, painting, etc. Lots of good information.     Contact:   Great Expectations Antiques Seller:   Dealer/Mall    View Seller's Policy Seller Accepts:   We accept VISA, MASTER CARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, PAYPAL, CASH, US POST OFFICE POSTAL MONEY ORDERS ONLY (ALL OTHER MONEY ORDERS WILL BE RETURNED), AND PERSONAL CHECKS.
