Thanks to the generosity of my mother in law (Lenore Miller) I just acquired the last edition of Architectural Graphic Standards, which happens to be the first edition. I mentioned while on the phone with Lenore that I just got the sixth edition and she said I’ll get you the first edition as an early birthday present!
A friend of Lenore’s found several copies on AbeBooks and I reached out for more information. I was happy with the results and bought one. It showed up yesterday and I couldn’t be happier.
I sat at our kitchen table last evening and as we say in the architectural world, I did a page turn. We certainly don’t build them like they used to but many of the details could easily be used in a modern construction set, some 92 years after this book was published.
Thanks again Lenore for all you do and this wonderful gift. GLAT
