This complete set of 4 volumes of Audels Masons and Builders Guides ( No. 1 - 4) from 1927 are so special! The title page of each of the volumes describes these books to be, "A Practical Illustrated Trade Assistant on Modern Construction for Bricklayers - Stone Masons, Cement Workers - Plasterers and Tile Setters. Explaining in Practical, Concise Language and by Well Done Illustrations, Diagrams, Charts, Graphs and Pictures, Principles, Advances, Short Cuts - Based on Modern Practice - Including Instructions on How to Figure and Calculate Various Jobs".
Each of the volumes was produced by Frank D. Graham - Chief and Thomas J. Emery - Associate. They were published by the Theo. Audel & Co. 65 West 23rd Street, New York, USA. Copyright 1927, Reprinted 1927. Printed in the United States.
Each guide begins with a Quote by John Ruskin, Foreword, Outline of Chapters, How to Use the Guides Page and a Ready Reference Index. They have bright red leatherette covers, gold paper edges and graphics on the bindings. The fronts of the covers are impressed with the title of each guide. The leatherette covers makes the books practical for use as the pages and cover are very flexible. This is like the 1920s version of You Tube How to Videos! Full of illustrations, photographs and practical presentations on how to perform as a Mason and Builder with style. The bindings identified which broad categories are covered in each volume.
They are in wonderful, antique condition. Some corner and edge ruffling and creasing on the binding from use. No extraneous writing. No breaks in the bindings. No missing pages. Pages have darkened with age. No off odors.
These belong on the shelf or mantel in the office of a craftsman. What a one-of-a-kind gift. Very, very special.
There are four complete sets with different topics. They are listed separately (the last picture shows them all). Please contact me if you are interested in multiple sets and we can discuss a discount.
