xxxvi, 140pp, 36pp, 32pp (The Practical Builders Price Book), 107 plates (109 called for) 29x23, marbled boards, half bound in leather. Boards and spine worn and rubbed, remains of tape repairs on front board and title page, re-bound, browning to most plates; 109 plates called for, 107 present. A later Kelly edition of Nicholson's classic work, with additional plates added (the comparison in quality with Nicholson's originals is striking), and a copy of The Practical Builder's Price Book bound in.

The three books of Nicholson's original are all included in the first volume, with books I and II paginated consecutively and book III separately.…
