Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. lxvii, 760 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm OCLC 52073501 This reprint of the first edition of Sweet's Catalog commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Sweet's business."--Foreword ; "In offering to the public, and especially to the architects of the United States, the first edition of Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction, the publishers have realized at the very outset the importance of stating clearly, first, what the book is, and secondly, the reasons for commending it to the architectural profession for their use and support. .to explain in a few words the character and purpose of the work, . a embodied in these first successful efforts toward a really scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction. Let the matter be looked at entirely from the point of view of the architect. For a period of a dozen years, every possible method of collecting, sorting, classifying, filing and indexing all the catalogues and circulars of building materials was conscientiously given a fair trial, and after a thorough test, every method was just as conscientiously abandoned. They were abandoned because they did not work well in the specification room. They were not practicable. Everything was tried, arrangements of shelves, bookcases, pasteboard boxes, filing cases, patent binders, filing cabinets, cases of drawers, indexing schemes and " index- rerums. " At first, all the big books were put together in one place and all the little books in another place; and then all the big and little books were mixed up together, and indexed according to subject. Some had four pages, and some had four hundred pages. Barely two were of the same shape or superficies. The little ones would not stand up, and could not be gotten at when laid flat. Another elaborate system was introduced, and a voluminous cross-index started, but the big books contained too much useless matter, and the little books got lost or mislaid or could not be found just when wanted. Then the writer decided, after much time and expense, that the present system of publishing and distributing catalogues, as far as the architect is concerned, might be rightly termed " The Catalogue Delusion, " and that the only solution of the problem must lie in a scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction, gradually developed toward an ideal result by the co-operation of manufacturer and architect. Briefly, then, what is Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction? It is a scientific catalogue book system ( a volume or series of volumes) , as easy to refer to as a dictionary, consisting of groups of catalogues from which as much unnecessary matter as possible has been eliminated, carefully indexed and cross- indexed, and sent out gratuitously by the publishers to every architect of good standing. Each catalogue in the work is organically arranged in its parts. It proceeds in a regular order from fact " A " to fact " Z " . Illustrations of a certain class are all grouped and arranged according to some obvious plan. " Literature " and " mere writing " are omitted, as an architect has no time in his office for either."; authors and compilers include Wm. Martin Aiken, Claire Allen, J. M. Baillie, Charles I.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. A unique piece of WW2 era Thomas Cook British Raj history. Two related letters describing and confirming the Ruler of Wankaner (Maharana Raj Sahib Amarsinhji Banesinhji)'s support for Thomas Cook's new Expeditionary Force Supplies Service for France, Egypt and the Near East. Very good, pinned together, centre-folded, and 2-hole punched with no impact on the content. LETTER 1: 2pp, 21x26cm, signed typescript with the letterhead of Thomas Cook, Hornby Road, Bombay, dated 5 December 1939, and referenced "JW". This was sent by G(?) Brown to Mr Rao Bahadur Devchand I. Mehta, BA, Home Member, Wankaner State. Acting on behalf of Thomas Cook's Chairman, Brown is asking Mehta to inform "His Highness" of their new Expeditionary Force Supplies Service "which, it is felt, will have a special appeal to the principal Rulers of Indian States and other notabilities who are interested in the welfare of those who are serving with the Expeditionary Force in France and also those stationed in Egypt and the near East". He describes how the service will supply parcels to troops serving abroad, Prisoners of War and Internees at various rates. Thomas Cook has entered into agreements with manufacturers and wholesalers to supply a wide range of goods not included in standard Army rations including clothing, gramophones, other musical instruments and "innumerable other articles". Brown encourages the Ruling Princes to use the service to benefit their troops abroad, and to include best wishes and compliments cards in the parcels. He explains flexibility in distribution. He advises that Thomas Cook has been building up a stock of supplies in the face of growing restrictions, that special arrangements are being made for Christmas and the New Year, and that the scheme "will be a permanent one during the War, as it is the aim of the Company to maintain this unusual service throughout the hostilities, for the convenience of its clientele and as a practical service to those serving with the Colours". Brown refers to descriptive pamphlets that are not included here, and asks for His Highness' "early consideration to these proposals so that the requirements might be advised to London as soon as possible". // LETTER 2: (1)pp foolscap with Hindusthan Bond / Made in India watermark. Typed reply referenced No. 1707 of 1939, dated The Secretariat, Wankaner, 14 December 1939, signed presumably by Mehta. This acknowledges receipt of Brown's letter, and "On placing the contents of the same before His Highness I am directed to inform you that the scheme is no doubt a commendable one and we shall avail of it whenever necessary". (The back of Letter 1 has ms inscription possibly a commentary in Gujarati, with the same signature as on Letter 2).…
